Grounded in theory and logic, norm related pro-social behavior is a concept proposing that social norms held by youths directly affects their behaviors. Correlation research was conducted to investigate the individual and combined influence of school connectedness, academic self-efficacy, and personal variables in elementary school age youths self reported norm related pro-social behaviors.
