AB  - Fostering self-worth and hope are important goals of positive youth development 
      (PYD) efforts, yet intervention design is complicated by contrasting theoretical 
      hypotheses regarding the directional association between these constructs. 
      Therefore, within a longitudinal design we tested: (1) that self-worth predicts 
      changes in hope (self theory; Harter, 1999), and (2) that hope predicts changes 
      in self-worth (hope theory; Snyder, 2002) over time. Youth (N = 321; Mage = 10.33 
      years) in a physical activity-based PYD program completed surveys 37-45 days 
      prior to and on the second day and third-to-last day of the program. A latent 
      variable panel model that included autoregressive and cross-lagged paths 
      indicated that self-worth was a significant predictor of change in hope, but hope 
      did not predict change in self-worth. Therefore, the directional association 
      between self-worth and hope is better explained by self-theory and PYD programs 
      should aim to enhance perceptions of self-worth to build perceptions of hope.
