One of the top qualities that people look for in a long-term relationship is kindness, a new research suggests.
For the study published in the Journal of Personality, the research team picked over 2 700 college students from across the globe and asked them to build themselves an ideal lifelong partner by using a fixed budget to "buy" characteristics.
While traits like physical attractiveness and financial prospects were important, the one that was given the highest priority was kindness, said the researchers.
