Adolescents' Self-Perceptions of Their Strengths.

Williams, Sheila; McGee, Rob

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v20 n3 p325-37 Jun 1991

Adolescents in New Zealand (492 boys and 468 girls) completed a 22-item scale concerning their self-perceived strengths. Parent, peer, and school attachment, part-time work, and number of physical activities in which they were involved (NPAs) were central for boys. Girls' strengths were best predicted by parent attachment and NPAs. (TJH)
