Using longitudinal data from 945 fifth and sixth graders participating in the 4-H Study of PYD, initial descriptive…

Positive youth development (PYD) deserves more empirical attention, particularly among children of diverse racial-ethnic backgrounds.

This study explores the quality of afterschool…

Bowers, Edmond P.; von Eye, Alexander; Lerner, Jacqueline V.; Arbeit, Miriam R.; Weiner, Michelle B.; Chase, Paul; Agans, Jennifer P. – Journal of Adolescence, 2011
Two theoretical perspectives have been proposed to describe, explain, and intervene in adolescent development--prevention science and positive youth development (PYD).
