| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To find psychosocial qualities for healthy development of youth in Laos and Bangladesh. We used qualitative research methods such as semi-structured interview, focus group interview, and free descriptive answer. When we analyzed our qualitative data, we referred to three models developed by Search Institute, Developmental Assets Initiative, and National Institute of Educational Policy Research. We categorized 7 psychosocial qualities extracted from our qualitative data:1)supportive environment, 2)safe environment, 3)social norm, 4)engagement in leaning, 5)positive values, 6)social skill, 7)self-affirmation, and 8)cultural value and behavior. Based on these constructs, we prepared 52 items and tested in youth samples. Generally, we confirmed these constructs by confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, we developed 9 to 10 scales for assess psychosocial assets. Majority of these scales were related to happiness, self-rating health, and sense of control in youth samples of both countries.
