AB  - This study uses a positive youth development (PYD) approach to explore whether 
      differences in youths' conceptions of spirituality were linked to patters of 
      difference regarding 6 domains of PYD. Using data from the 4-H Study of Positive 
      Youth Development, findings revealed a consistent trend across 6 domains of 
      positive development. Youth who had coherent conceptions of being spiritual 
      generally scored highest on measures of positive development, whereas youth in 
      the ambiguous spirituality group (i.e., less coherent) scored the lowest. 
      However, follow-up analyses reveal that such relations did not hold over time. 
      Implications of findings include youth development professionals aiming to 
      nurture the spiritual growth of youth should encourage more coherent notions of 
      spirituality among the youth they serve.
