Secondly, the predictive role of school kindness on studentcovitality was examined through simple linear regression analysis. Results showedthat, females scored significantly higher than males on both SKS scores [t(449.55)=1.89, p=.01] and PEASS scores [t(491)= 3.15, p=.00]. No significant differences werefound on SKS scores [F(2;487)= 2.03, p=.13] and PEASS scores [χ2 (2)= .98, p= .61]among the three immigration groups . Finally, school kindness was found as asignificant predictor of student covitality.
