Development of the Self-Report Measures of Assessing Developmental Assets Among At-Risk Youth in Malaysia

Abstract  

Measures of developmental assets were created as a new self-report to assess positive attitudes and behaviour among at-risk
youth. The measure was examined in a sample of 744 at-risk youth aged between 13 and 25 who dwell in public housing projects
in Malaysia. The Malaysian version of the developmental assets measures 23 dimensions of the participants in respect of their
positive attitude and behaviour towards society, significant others and self. The results show that this measure has good
psychometric properties, and is significantly associated with other constructs. This measure is useful in basic and applied
research, and for intervention programmes.
