## Abstract

Flourishing refers to a state of optimal well-being and life satisfaction, while the Light Triad traits—Kantianism, Humanism, and Faith in Humanity—represent a prosocial and benevolent approach to interpersonal relationships. This study explores the relationship between these traits and Flourishing among adults in the Honduras Central District. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional methodology with a relational scope was used in a sample of 715 Honduran adults. Results indicate that Kantianism, Humanism, and Faith in Humanity significantly and positively explain the participants’ levels of Flourishing. Men and women reported similar levels of Flourishing, Faith in Humanity, and Kantianism. However, women scored significantly higher in Humanism. This study highlights the role of the Light Triad traits in predicting Flourishing, emphasizing the need for educational and policy initiatives that foster traits like Kantianism, Humanism, and Faith in Humanity for personal and societal development.
