differences both in students’ awareness <strong>of</strong> despise and baby surprise face emotion expression in<br />

Using structural equation modeling on a sample <strong>of</strong> 1070 Hong Kong first to third grade students,<br />

we examined the direct and indirect effects <strong>of</strong> prosocial and antisocial behavior on peer acceptance,<br />

self-concept, and academic performance, respectively. Among other results, children’s prosocial<br />

behavior was positively associated with academic performance (B = 0.47), peer acceptance (0.56)<br />

and self concept (0.32). Antisocial behavior was negatively associated with children’s academic<br />

performance (-0.29) and peer acceptance (-0.28) but was not associated with self-concept.<br />
