Abstract
Using data from a large, longitudinal sample (N=1,292) of low-income families, we found that teacher ratings of children's prosocial behavior in first grade mediated the negative effects of socioeconomic risk on an executive function task in first grade, such that higher ratings of prosocial behavior were associated with higher EF.
