AB  - A substantial body of evidence supports Lerner and colleagues' 5Cs model of 
      positive youth development (PYD) in the United States (U.S.). Nonetheless, it 
      remains unclear whether the 5Cs can be used to identify positive development in 
      the under-researched Asian contexts, such as Malaysia. Thus, this study examined 
      the 5Cs of PYD (competence, confidence, character, connection, and caring) and 
      their importance to purpose in life, hope, and well-being in a sample of emerging 
      adult undergraduate university students in Malaysia. Data were collected from 400 
      participants from 15 Malaysian universities (132 males, 268 females; ages ranged 
      from 18 to 26 years old, M = 22). A hierarchical multiple regression analysis 
      indicated that two of the 5Cs of PYD (confidence and connection) as well as hope 
      were important to explaining variation in well-being. The findings imply that 
      there are strong links between PYD, especially confidence and connection, and 
      well-being, while purpose in life and hope were indirectly related to the 2Cs 
      (confidence and connection) of PYD and well-being. Therefore, mental health 
      professionals are encouraged to review and redefine their treatment design to 
      include confidence, connection, purpose in life and hope when working with 
      Malaysian emerging adult university students.
