AB  - Based on the development assets theory and the scar model, the present study 
      examined the relationship between positive youth development (PYD) and depressive 
      symptoms among Chinese early adolescents using a three-year longitudinal study 
      design. Data from three waves were collected from 1301 students (Mean age = 
      12.46, SD = 0.63 years and 51.2% boys at wave 1) across the junior high school 
      period (Grades 7-9). All participants completed a questionnaire that included the 
      Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Chinese 
      Positive Youth Development Scale (CPYD) once a year over three years. After 
      controlling for age and gender, this study found that PYD significantly predicted 
      subsequent depressive symptoms. However, depressive symptoms did not 
      significantly predict subsequent PYD. The results indicated a unidirectional 
      relationship between PYD and depressive symptoms, where a reduction in PYD may 
      increase subsequent depressive symptoms, though not vice versa. Besides, the 
      negative cross-sectional correlation between PYD and depressive symptoms remains 
      significant and stable from first year (T1) to third year (T3). These findings 
      suggest that promoting PYD may be a promising approach to preventing/reducing 
      adolescent depressive symptoms.
