The article discusses how kindness is expressed by students, emphasizing both observable actions and the often-overlooked aspect of self-restraint. A recent study of high school students found actions like helping and caring to be significant demonstrations of kindness. Traditional research methodologies focus on easily observable kind acts but might neglect the quieter, restrained ways kindness is exhibited. This gap calls for more research on how students express kindness through their decisions not to act, which is equally important in understanding social dynamics in schools.
Students often express kindness through observable actions, such as helping or sharing with others; however, kindness can also manifest through self-restraint and holding back.
Research typically emphasizes acts of kindness that can be easily seen and coded, leaving a gap in understanding the role of self-restraint in kindness among students.
