“…Trepanier and Romatowski (1982) suggested that children's prosocial development can be facilitated through a classroom intervention technique in which teachers read selected children's books and ask questions that encourage critical thinking. Calsyn and Prost (1983) also found social benefits for children from a short-term affective education program. Especially impressive are the research outcomes that have indicated improved academic achievement (Gerler, Kinney, & Anderson, 1985) and reduced substance abuse (Swisher, Nesselroade, & Tatanish, 1985) result from the implementation of psychoeducational strategies in schools.…”
