AB  - Measures that are applicable to assess the positive youth development (PYD) of 
      racially diverse college students are needed. The present study tested if a 
      revised version of the very short form of the PYD measure (PYD-VSF) was 
      applicable to college students from five racial groups in the U. S. (White, 
      Black, Latinx, Asian, and other) across three measurement occasions. Participants 
      were 5,735 college students who completed the PYD-VSF at least once across the 
      three waves of a longitudinal study. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) indicated 
      that a first-order Five Cs structure, a higher-order structure, and a bifactor 
      structure all provided good fit to the data. Multi-group CFA across racial groups 
      found that the first-order structure fit the data better than the higher-order 
      and the bifactor models, and it showed configural-, factor loading-, intercept-, 
      and residual-invariance. Longitudinal CFA models of the first-order structure 
      supported configural-, factor loading-, intercept-, and residual-invariance. The 
      revised PYD-VSF measure has shown the potential to assess PYD among college 
      students of diverse racial-ethnic backgrounds.
