Abstract
This study examined the effects of peers' civic-mindedness on elementary school students' civic-mindedness. Raising civic-minded and socially responsible adolescents has become a focus of attention in many countries in recent years. This study used fourth-grade elementary school panel data from the Seoul Education Longitudinal Survey 2010, identifying causality based on fixed effects and instrumental variable estimation from students' random classroom assignment. Results showed that the high civic-mindedness among classmates increased students' own civic-mindedness. Based on these findings, implications for adolescent education are discussed.
