Two months after training, psychological measures, and behavior test were administered to all students. Assessments used in this study were in the form of summated rating scales. The items of each questionnaire were carefully selected based on several statistical criteria: item discrimination and item-total correlation. Reliability in terms of alpha coefficient was computed for each measure range from 0.84 to 0.87. A statistical procedure used to test the hypotheses was Multivariate analysis of covariance. The result showed that, when compared with the other groups, the 100% trained group was more superior in prosocial behavior assessed 2 months after training.
