Abstract
ABSTRACT This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the prevalence of personal strengths and their correlates among a sample of Black girls residing in urban settings. Specifically, the study assesses the levels of personal strengths (aspirations) and identifies other personal attributes (social responsibility, self-efficacy, emotional restraint, expectations of goals, and mother’s influence) that would predict the levels of aspirations. The results revealed high levels of aspirations and statically significant correlations between aspirations, expectations, self-efficacy, and mother’s influence. Results also revealed that after controlling for mother’s influence, expectation of goal was the strongest significant predictor of aspirations of Black females.
