Study: Elementary social training persists into adulthood

ASCD SmartBrief | Dec 02, 2008

Children who in elementary school were taught social skills like impulse control and empathy continue to show benefits 15 years after the initial training, according to a study that has tracked nearly 600 students since elementary school. The 24- to 27-year-olds who went through the training enjoyed higher socioeconomic status, better mental and sexual health and higher rates of education than their peers who did not.
