      Positive Youth Development.

AB  - This article reports the results of a positive youth development (PYD) 
      intervention for adolescents in alternative high schools (209 African American 
      and Hispanic American adolescents, aged 14-18; 118 females and 91 males). The 
      intervention was guided by a self-transformative model of PYD (Eichas, Meca, 
      Montgomery, & Kurtines, 2014). This model proposes that the actions youth take to 
      define themselves function as active ingredients in positive development over the 
      life course. Consistent with the self-transformative model, results provided 
      support for direct or mediated intervention effects on the self-transformative 
      processes of self-construction and self-discovery, life goal development, 
      identity synthesis, and internalizing problems. The findings illustrate the 
      utility of using a self-transformative approach to PYD in work with marginalized 
      youth populations.
