This volume presents the results of the Flourishing Children
Project. The study addressed gaps in the research on indicators of
positive development of adolescents. Such indicators are essential
for the balanced and scientifically sound study of adolescents. Yet
measures of many aspects of flourishing are not available, and when
they do exist, they are rarely measured in a developmentally
appropriate manner for adolescents. In addition, they are often too
long for program evaluations and surveys, have not been tested on
diverse populations, nor carefully validated as predictors of
positive outcomes. The Flourishing Children Project undertook the
development of scales for adolescents ages 12-17 for 19 aspects of
flourishing covering six domains: flourishing in school and work,
personal flourishing, flourishing in relationships, relationship
skills, helping others to flourish, and environmental stewardship.
This volume describes the four-stage process of developing the
scales, including: Reviewing the literature for extant measures for
items to test and synthesizing the existing research into consensus
definitions for each construct; conducting cognitive testing of
items with adolescents and their parents; pilot testing the items;
and conducting psychometric analyses.
