G. (2000) The findings of this study show that early prosocial behavior strongly predicts
subsequent level of academic achievement, even after controlling for variation in early academic
achievement. Indeed, the relation of third-grade academic achievement to eight-grade
achievement disappears after controlling for the effects of early prosocialness. A further impact
of early prosocialness is found in the strong preference adolescents show for peers who are gone
