dc.abstract.enThis research examines the impact of hurrying on niceness, understood as acting in a warm and friendly way in everyday social interactions. Building on classical research showing that hurrying has a negative effect on helping, we hypothesised that it would also diminish niceness. Across four studies (N = 722), including two experiments where a sense of hurry was induced, we found both correlational and causal evidence that niceness was lower in a hurry than in no-hurry. This effect was not present in individuals with high levels of mindfulness. These findings suggest that a fast-paced lifestyle may undermine interpersonal niceness, while mindfulness skills may buffer against this effect.
