The School Kindness Scale (SKS) was used tomeasure school kindness. Additionally, the Positive Experiences at School Scale(PEASS) was used to measure student covitality. In this research, firstly, SKS andPEASS scores across gender and immigration groups (refugee, Turkish internallydisplaced, native) were compared by using independent samples t-test, ANOVA, andKruskal Wallis H test. 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.
