Each chapter examines a particular aspect of youth development research, providing a succinct summary of the topic, detailing implications for youth development practice, and offering guidance for translating the research into practice. Contributors introduce the need for high-quality, science-based youth development programs, the importance of high-quality youth development settings, critical facets of youth thriving, and the benefits of such programs to society writ large.Key areas of coverage include:The science of learning and development as well as the role of learning and meaning makingPositive youth development program models and high-quality youth program settingsYouth belonging and equity in youth programmingDevelopmental relationships, challenge and growth mindset, and prosocial development as well as purpose, hope, and identityTranscendent awareness, emotional regulation, and self-regulation and goal settingPositive Youth Development is an essential resource for all professionals, clinicians, and practitioners as well as researchers, educators, and graduate students in developmental psychology, child and adolescent psychiatry, school psychology, clinical social work, public health, education, and all related disciplines.
