AB  - This chapter reviews research and findings on youth purpose as it relates to 
      positive youth development (PYD) and thriving. The authors note that purpose is 
      defined in multiple ways in the youth development literature, including 
      one-dimensional and multi-dimensional definitions, and those that combine purpose 
      with other constructs, like meaning. Although research on youth purpose and 
      thriving is in its early stages, however, multiple other purpose-like constructs 
      appear in the positive youth development literature, such as life goals, 
      contribution, and sparks, that can tell us about how purpose and PYD may 
      interact. Recent research suggests that purpose aligns with several positive 
      states during adolescence and young adulthood, like life -satisfaction, coping, 
      generosity, optimism, humility, mature identity status, and more global 
      personality integration. Purpose may also be promoted through social support from 
      people in young people's lives who are sensitive and responsive to their 
      interests and concerns.
