“…The Positive Youth Development Scale (PYD) developed by Geldhof and colleagues (2014a, 2014b) has been extensively studied in fields such as education, health, and sports using both short and very short forms. Findings to date indicate that positive youth development initiatives have had positive effects on young people in a range of areas that include increased life satisfaction (Shek & Chai, 2020), stronger character development (Park, 2009), improved self-regulation (Bowers et al, 2012), better goal-setting with teacher support (Bundick & Tirri, 2014), enhanced social justice and youth development in high-risk, marginalized youth (Iwasaki, 2016), enhanced well-being and psychological resilience (Sanders et al, 2015), stronger critical thinking for understanding inequality (Tyler et al, 2020), and increased healthy lifestyle behaviors (Domínguez Espinosa et al, 2021). Moreover, participation in sports activities have been shown to increase positive youth development, through enhanced group cohesion in athletics and improved coach-athlete relationships and team successes (Bruner et al, 2014; Holt & Neely, 2011; Turnnidge et al, 2014; Vella et al, 2013).…”

In this study, we translated to Turkish and evaluated the validity, reliability, and measurement invariance for respondent sex, grade level and analysis programs the Short Form and Very Short Form of the Positive Youth Development Scale (Turkish version). We had 435 youth, aged 11–17 years, complete the Short (34 items) and Very Short (17 items) Forms of the instrument. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that both forms had a 5-factor structure, and validity testing showed good criterion-related correlation validity between this tool and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The Short Form had adequate reliability coefficients, but the Very Short Form lacked sufficient reliability for some dimensions. Test-retest correlations were satisfactory for both forms. While the Short and Very Short Forms showed measurement invariance across gender and grade level, CFI, NNFI (TLI), and IFI values diverged between LISREL and AMOS analysis programs. In summary, our data suggest that the Short Form is a reliable measure of positive youth development, while the Very Short Form may not be as reliable due to insufficient confidence values.

“…To provide context, the amount of research in Latin America is still incipient and mostly circumscribed to Peruvian, Colombian and Mexican populations (i.e. Domínguez Espinosa et al, 2021 ; Manrique-Millones et al, 2021 ), which does not allow for full generalisation in other culturally distant Latin-American countries, such as Argentina, Brazil and Chile ( Ziegler and Bensch, 2013 ; Greiff and Iliescu, 2017 ). The current study is aimed at initially filling this gap regarding Chilean Youth.…”

Positive youth development (PYD) allows the youth to be comprehended from their potential, strengths and assets, in contrast to the traditional deficit view that focuses on their weaknesses. The PYD model promotes constructive behaviours in youth by highlighting the positive attributes usually found during the transition from childhood to adulthood to achieve healthy and optimal development in later life. Overall, PYD comprises five key competence (5C), the flourishing models and forty developmental assets. In the present study, a structural equation model is tested with the Chilean dataset of the PYD project on the premise that Positive Identity is the core internal developmental asset explaining Psychological wellbeing and that Confidence and Character are mediators of the relationship between Positive Identity and Psychological Wellbeing. The sample comprised 261 participants (nWomen = 189, nMen = 72), MeanAge = 22 years old, who were approached by an online survey uploaded to Qualtrics. The measures of the study included: The Developmental assets Scale, the Short-form of the Five Cs included in the PYD and the Mental Health Continuum Short-Form. The results indicated a good model fit (β = 1.74, Ztotal = 10.63, χ2 = 424.95, df = 277, χ2/df = 1.53, p < 0.001, Robust CFI = 0.945, Robust RMSEA = 0.049, 90% CI (0.040, 0.058), AIC = 17689.91, saBIC = 17719.08 and SRMR = 0.061), highlighting the relevance of studying Latin-American adolescents and young ‘s wellbeing in times of COVID-19, as the participants’ Positive Identity significantly predicted their Psychological Wellbeing, and simultaneously, this relationship was mediated by both their level of Confidence and Character.
