The Kindness Survey

The Kindness Survey was developed by Dr Sophie Lea (Monash University), Dr Andrew Wicking (Adjunct, University of South Australia) and Mr Peter Wicking OAM (Adjunct, University of South Australia) in collaboration with our research partners Professor Kurt Lushington and Professor Jill Dorrian (University of South Australia) and Dr Mark Kohler (University of Adelaide).

The Kindness Survey is designed to help you support the kindness education and mental health of your students. It is provided as part of the paid Kind Schools membership.

The survey comprises 7 demographic questions and 24 kindness questions, suitable for Grades 3 and up. To review the questions please download a Snapshot Report here: Kindness Survey Snapshot Report

The Kindness Survey measures the 9 domains of kindness described in our science-backed Kindness Model. You can review the Kindness Model in your Kind Schools account area, or click here: Kindness Model

The Kindness Survey is voluntary and anonymous, and all responses are non-identified and results aggregated.

The survey is completed online in class time and usually takes less than 20 minutes.
