Abstract

To investigate the relation of student exposure to selected developmental assets with indicators of thriving, using more reliable measures than previously reported. Self-report surveys were completed by a diverse sample of 5136 students in 6th-12th grades. Analyses of variance were used to examine the assets-thriving relation. A majority of students reported experiencing only 3 of 12 assets. The more assets students reported, the more they reported thriving in physical, psychological, social, and academic domains. Adults must become more intentional about building the relationships, opportunities, values, and skills young people need for optimally healthy development.
