AB  - Intentional self regulation and hopeful expectations for the future are 
      theoretically-related constructs shown to lead to positive youth development 
      (PYD). However, the nature of their relationship over time has not been tested. 
      Therefore, this study explored the associations between hopeful future 
      expectations and intentional self regulation in predicting positive developmental 
      outcomes. Participants were in Grades 7, 8, and 9 of the 4-H Study of PYD 
      (N = 1311), a longitudinal study involving U.S. adolescents. A cross-lagged panel 
      analysis using Structural Equation Modeling assessed the relations among hopeful 
      future expectations and intentional self regulation across time in predicting 
      PYD. Results indicated that earlier hopeful expectations for the future may be 
      influential for later intentional self-regulation abilities, although both 
      constructs were strong predictors of PYD in middle adolescence. We discuss 
      implications for research and practice of hopeful expectations in adolescents' 
      constructions of their positive futures.
