Author: Iyad Khamaysa

 

The present study examined the tribal intolerance and revenge among Palestinian universities’ students. Tribal intolerance and revenge was evaluated using a 46-item index scale developed by the researcher that was administrated to three hundred and eighty-three Palestinian university students. The data was statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Palestinian students had a moderate level of tribal intolerance and revenge. Of the students surveyed, 62.2% revealed tribal intolerance and revenge. The results demonstrated significant statistical differences in the tribal intolerance and revenge scores among the students according to their gender and place of residency. The grade point average (GPA) emerged as a significant predictor of the tribal intolerance and revenge. The implications of the findings for practice were also highlighted.
