pate in community activities

e – the model error

The results from the multiple linear regression model are presented
in the next table. As the results show, the regression coefficients of six var-
iables remain statistically significant even after controlling for each one of
the remaining variables. These are the expected student participation in
illegal protest activities, the student participation in the wider commu-
nity, student participation at school, student trust in civic institutions,
student interaction at school, and the principal perceptions on student
opportunity to participate in community activities. All of these variables
are related to student participation (current or future). This is an impor-
tant finding. Perhaps increasing student participation or preparing them
for the future participation could help alleviate the frequency of bullying.
