Researchers then kept track of whether the students go on to graduate from high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full－time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse， public assistance, and mental health issues.

　　The results showed that socially capable children are far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full－time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also have a higher chance of getting arrested， binge drinking, and applying for public housing.

　　“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future，” said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.

　　“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted. ”

　　The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention (干预) at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills.

　　“This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on，” he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life.”
