Editat de Edmond P. Bowers, G. John Geldhof, Sara K. Johnson, Lacey J. Hilliard, Rachel M. Hershberg, Jacqueline V. Lerner, Richard M. Lerner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 iul 2015
This book presents the results of the longitudinal 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development. The volume discusses how self-regulation and contextual resources (e.g., strong relationships with parents, peers, and the community) can be fostered in young people to contribute to the enhancement of functioning throughout life. Each chapter examines a particular aspect of youth thriving, and offers findings on either the bases or the role of positive development in a variety of outcomes, from reduced risk of emotional problems and harmful behaviors to increased participation in the community. Contributors introduce a contemporary model of positive development for diverse youth, provide examples of effective youth development programs, and suggest applications for informing the next generation of policies and practices. Among the featured topics:
  • The regulation of emotion in adolescence.
  • School engagement, academic achievement, and positive youth development.
  • Peer relationships and positive youth development.
  • Identity development in adolescence and the implications for youth policy and practice.
  • Promoting adolescent sexual health in youth programming.
  • A positive youth development approach to bullying.
Researchers in developmental psychology as well as practitioners in educational or youth development programs or policies will gain from Promoting Positive Youth Development a new appreciation of the central role of young people's strengths, and initiatives to build effective youth programs.
“This volume is destined to become the handbook for anyone interested in the bourgeoning field of positive youth development. Based on ground breaking, longitudinal research from top researchers in the field, Promoting Healthy Development for America’s Youth presents a rich, theoretically grounded understanding of the landscape today’s youth and programs. The contributors provide
clear,data-driven guidance regarding the types of programs and settings that are most beneficial to young people.” Jean E. Rhodes, Ph.D.

Recenzii

“This book is both timely and relevant, as policy makers and individuals entrusted with the task of developing youth programs struggle with ways in which to promote positive youth development. … Researchers in behavioral sciences … and practitioners in guidance and youth developmental programs will find this book to be an extremely valuable reference guide. I highly recommend it as a necessary tool in the continuing effort to ensure that future youth development programs are grounded in evidence-based research.” (Michael S. Goldsby, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
“This is a chock-full, scholarly volume that might best be lodged in a research library. Among its greatest assets in addition to some valuable findings is that it includes extensive and valuable reference lists and many useful suggestions for future research, following onthe 4-H Study.” (Sherry Lynn Hatcher, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (3), January, 2016)
