A small act of kindness can go a long way, say researchers, toward boosting student health and wellness. Dr John-Tyler Binfet and Dr Sally Stewart at the University of British Columbia recently published a study that explores how the inclusion of a kindness assignment in a university course impacted student perceptions (认知) of themselves, their peers (同龄人) and their campus.
For the study, volunteer students provided self-reports to determine the extent they saw themselves as kind in online and face-to-face interactions, and how connected they felt to their peers and the campus. The students were then asked to plan and complete five kind acts for one week.
The participants completed 353 kind acts in all. Students that completed at least three of the five planned acts of kindness self-reported significantly higher scores of in-person kindness and peer connectedness.
“Our research can help students realize that there is evidence behind how and why people are kind, and that kindness does impact health and well-being,” says Dr Stewart. “It also has an incredible impact on teaching in higher education. It provides insight into where students are with their practice and understanding of kindness in order to build the groundwork for inclusion of this topic within educational practices and course content areas.”
There’re already on-campus well-being resources available to students at most postsecondary schools. But the research demonstrates that by including kind acts into coursework, it’s easier for more students to engage in those activities and receive benefits without added effort. The study also demonstrated that a curriculum-based kindness intervention would be well received by students.
“We found that the students loved the assignment,” says Dr Stewart. “For some, it helped them realize that kindness is a skill that they can learn to do better and that there are many ways to be kind. For others, it helped them realize that they already do kind things. It reinforced their desire and intention of doing more kind acts.”
