AB  - INTRODUCTION: During the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents have increasingly 
      suffered from online problem behaviors and mental disorders. But little research 
      has paid attention to the protective factors among adolescents. Therefore, the 
      present study attempted to investigate the role of positive youth development 
      (PYD) attributes in adolescents' depression, internet gaming disorder (IGD) and 
      cyberbullying/victimization (CBV). METHODS: A total of 995 Chinese adolescents 
      (M(age) = 15.97 years, SD = 0.77, 325 boys) from two public high schools in Hubei 
      province were recruited to participate in the three-wave longitudinal study over 
      the span of 1 year during the pandemic (Time 1: November, 2020; Time 2: May, 
      2021; Time 3: November, 2021). RESULTS: T1 PYD attributes negatively predicted T2 
      depression and T3 online problematic behaviors. T2 depression positively 
      predicted IGD at T3. T3 IGD significantly predicted greater involvement in T3 
      CBV, and vice versa. Moreover, depression and one online problem behavior 
      mediated the relationships between PYD attributes and the other online problem 
      behavior, separately and sequentially. DISCUSSION: These findings demonstrated 
      the protective role of PYD attributes in prevention of mental disorders and 
      online problem behaviors among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
      Comprehensive measures should be taken to assist young people to develop more PYD 
      attributes to promote healthy growth.
