Is it true that a 2026 psychology study found that some acts of kindness serve competitive social goals such as gaining status among women?

Yes. A 2026 Frontiers in Psychology paper on women's competitive altruism reports that generous or helpful behavior can buy standing and protection from exclusion among women, supporting the claim that some acts of kindness serve competitive social goals such as gaining status.
