摘要:AbstractThe main question of this research is to establish if adolescents differ according to different constructs of Positive Youth Development (PYD), i.e. Character, Connection, and Confidence; and if there are different groups according to these aspects, so do those groups differ in various aspects of well-being, i.e. subjective well-being and contribution. 1723 students (47.1% boys), of age 14-19 years (M=17.12, SD=0.93) from high schools in one administrative region participated. This study revealed that Lithuanian adolescents differ with regard to their Character, Connection, and Confidence – six groups with distinct patterns of PYD can be identified. These groups differ from each other in both satisfaction with life and contribution. Adolescents who perceive all PYD aspects positively report highest levels of satisfaction with life and contribution.
