The samples were 300 students, randomized by multi-stage random sampling. Data were collected by using reconciliation thinking questionnaires.

They were significantly different at the .01 level. 2) Seven predictors could predict the reconciliation thinking of the students with a statistical level of significance at .01. The predictors had a predictability power of 65.30 % and a predictive standard error of 0.24. 3) The prediction equations in the raw score and standard scores were as follows:= 0.977 + 0.332X1 + 0.174X3 + 0.131X5 + 0.042X2 + 0.119X8 - 0.090X6 + 0.071X4
= 0.395Z1 + 0.263Z3 + 0.165Z5 + 0.085Z2 + 0.140Z8 - 0.112Z6 + 0.104Z4
