Abstrakt: This article was based on studies on beliefs in altruism and subjective well-being in the context of pandemics, in the context of Social Cognition. This constitutes a field of studies that investigates psychic processes and mental contents in the context of social interactions. The following question was defined as a problem to guide this article: what relationships can be established between beliefs in altruism and in the subjective well-being of people in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic? From there, the following objectives were established: to analyze the concept of social cognition and beliefs; to study the theme of altruism as an agent of subjective well-being in times of the Covid-19 pandemic and to carry out empirical research on the relationship between beliefs in altruism and subjective well-being. Methodologically, it is an empirical, quantitative, descriptive research, carried out with 303 Brazilians who responded to the altruism scales; subjective well-being through positive and negative affects and life satisfaction, whose results revealed that there was a significant correlation of weak intensity between subjective well-being, related to life satisfaction, and altruism, related to well-being of the next.
