@HookwayNicholas Why was this? I seem to recall people perceived themselves generally to be more kind than other Aussies. -
This was the generational finding
@OtherSociology. Young people more likely to report being kind but don't think most Australians are kind. -
.
@HookwayNicholas Interesting. This probably challenges how others see young people, which is likely a useful thing. Gen Y gets a rough rep. -
@OtherSociology Seems to be riposte to Gen Y = narcissism discourse. Next stage is to do qual research with different gen groups.

Brilliant qst
@OtherSociology. See agenda of World Kindness Movement on creating cultures of kindness within organisations/institutions. -
@HookwayNicholas Thanks for this! I'll look into it. Kindness is a powerful concept for remaking institutions. -
@OtherSociology Yes, and for thinking about community capacity to pick up slack left by small government - eg, push toward big society
