Adolescent Care-Orientation and Positive Development in Young Adulthood
The Journal of adolescent health : official publication of the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Delyse Hutchinson, Primrose Letcher, John W. Toumbourou, George J. Youssef, Adrienne Buhagiar, Samantha Teague, Jacqui A. Macdonald, Christopher J Greenwood, Jennifer Mcintosh, Bill HallamAbstract:Abstract Purpose This study examined the extent to which care-oriented attitudes and behaviours in adolescence (e.g., volunteering) predict Positive Development (PD; e.g., life satisfaction and meaning/purpose) in young adulthood (19–28 years). Methods The analytic sample comprised 1,359 participants participating from a 35-year (16 wave) population-based cohort study (The Australian Temperament Project). Adolescent care-oriented attitudes and behaviours were defined in mid-adolescence (15–16 years). Young adult PD was defined by latent growth curve modelling across three waves (19–20, 23–24, and 27–28 years). Results There was considerable variation in PD at the beginning of young adulthood (19–20 years) (variance of intercept = 40.22, SE = 4.53, p Conclusions Results suggest that promotion of care-oriented attitudes and behaviours in adolescence may enhance adult Development by increasing PD levels at the start of the twenties. Intervening earlier in life is indicated as PD tends to remain stable throughout young adulthood once established.

Positive Development and Resilience in Emerging Adulthood
Oxford Handbooks Online, 2014Co-Authors: Meredith O'connor, Mary Hawkins, Primrose Letcher, Ann Sanson, John W. Toumbourou, Paige L. Williams, Craig A. OlssonAbstract:Recently, calls have been made for an increased focus on successful Development in young people and how optimal Developmental pathways can be promoted. The concept of healthy functioning or Positive Development is particularly relevant to the emerging-adulthood period because of the significant potential for Positive change and redirection of life pathways observed during this time. This chapter focuses on one empirically tested model of Positive Development in emerging adulthood developed with data from the Australian Temperament Project. Positive Development is conceptualized as comprising the dimensions of civic action and engagement, trust and tolerance of others, trust in authorities and organizations, social competence, and life satisfaction. A growing body of research suggests that Positive Development in emerging adulthood is an important asset for young people, with distinct Developmental antecedents and consequences for later functioning. The findings provide possible targets for interventions to promote healthy Developmental pathways into adulthood.

Associations Between Positive Development in Late Adolescence and Social, Health, and Behavioral Outcomes in Young Adulthood
Journal of Adult Development, 2012Co-Authors: Mary T. Hawkins, Primrose Letcher, John W. Toumbourou, Kristi-ann Villagonzalo, Ann V. Sanson, Craig A. OlssonAbstract:Little is known about Positive Development across the transition from adolescence to young adulthood. The purpose of this paper was to use longitudinal data from a large community sample, the Australian Temperament Project, to investigate prospective associations between Positive Development at age 19–20 years and changes in social, health, and behavioral outcomes at 23–24 years. Data from 890 young adults (61.7% women) were analyzed using path analysis. Emotional health, physical well-being, friendship quality, reduced antisocial behavior, and Positive Development in young adulthood were predicted by higher levels of Positive Development in late adolescence, after controlling for baseline levels of respective outcomes, gender, and family socioeconomic status. Parent relationship quality and alcohol use were not significantly predicted. Based on these findings, interventions promoting Positive Development during adolescence should be investigated as a potential means of yielding Positive social, health, and behavioral consequences well into young adulthood.

The relationship between Positive Development and psychopathology during the transition to adulthood: a person-centred approach.
Journal of adolescence, 2011Co-Authors: Meredith O'connor, Mary Hawkins, Ann Sanson, John W. Toumbourou, Craig A. Olsson, Erica Frydenberg, Primrose LetcherAbstract:The transition to adulthood is characterised by potential for both Positive Development and problem outcomes such as psychopathology, yet little is known about relationships between the two. Given the diversity of pathways observed during this transition period, there is likely to be significant heterogeneity in young people's experiences of these outcomes. Drawing on data from 1158 19-20 year olds in the Australian Temperament Project and using latent profile analysis, we identified six subgroups. For most, higher Positive Development was associated with lower psychopathology and vice versa. One group (33.6%) was high across all Positive Development measures and low on psychopathology, and another (47.7%) average in both areas. The remaining four groups were low on Positive Development but differentiated by average psychopathology (4.7%), high internalising (5.5%), and moderate (7.2%) and severe (1.3%) externalising problems. Tailored intervention strategies that address both the promotion of competence and prevention of problem outcomes are needed.

Predictors of Positive Development in Emerging Adulthood
Journal of youth and adolescence, 2010Co-Authors: Meredith O'connor, Mary Hawkins, Primrose Letcher, Ann Sanson, Diana Smart, John W. Toumbourou, Suzanne Vassallo, Craig A. OlssonAbstract:This article responds to recent calls for a focus on successful Development in young people and examination of its Developmental precursors, in order to identify potentially modifiable targets for interventions. The current study examined child and adolescent precursors of Positive functioning in emerging adulthood, including individual characteristics, relationship factors, and connections to the community, using a multidimensional Positive Development measure at 19–20 years. The sample consisted of 511 males and 647 females who were participants in the Australian Temperament Project, a population based longitudinal study that has followed young people’s psychosocial adjustment from infancy to early adulthood. Higher levels of Positive Development in emerging adulthood were associated with stronger family and peer relationships, better adjustment to the school setting, higher family socioeconomic status, and better emotional control. Some significant gender differences were observed, with emotional control, family relationships, and community orientation all being stronger predictors of males’ than of females’ Positive Development. The findings provide possible targets for child and adolescent interventions to promote Positive Development in early adulthood.

Stability and Change in Positive Development During Young Adulthood
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2011Co-Authors: Mary T. Hawkins, Primrose Letcher, Ann Sanson, John W. Toumbourou, Meredith O’connor, Craig OlssonAbstract:Calls have been made for a greater focus on successful Development and how Positive functioning can be conceptualized in theory and empirical research. Drawing on a large Australian community sample ( N = 890; 61.7% female), this article examines the structure and stability of Positive Development at two time points during young adulthood. Previously, we developed and empirically tested a model of Positive Development at 19–20 years comprised of five first-order constructs (civic action and engagement, trust and tolerance of others, trust in authorities and organisations, social competence, and life satisfaction) and a second-order Positive Development construct. In the current study, we replicated this model at 23–24 years and found that it was again a good fit for the data, and was equally applicable for young men and women. Hence, Positive Development can be conceptualized according to five important dimensions at both ages. While variable-oriented tests suggested continuity in levels of Positive Development, person-oriented analyses revealed four distinct patterns of Positive Development over time—two reflecting stability (stable high [34.5%] and stable very low [11.6%]) and two characterized by change (low/average increasing [30.4%] and average decreasing [23.5%]). There were significant differences in the gender composition of these groups, with young women overrepresented in the more favourable groups. Thus, despite mean level stability, Positive Development is characterized by change for many young people, suggesting the importance of identifying factors that support young people’s capacity for Positive functioning over this transitional period. The current findings contribute to our understanding of the nature and course of Positive Development over this important period.

Differentiating Three Conceptualisations of the Relationship between Positive Development and Psychopathology during the Transition to Adulthood.
Journal of adolescence, 2010Co-Authors: Meredith O'connor, Mary Hawkins, Primrose Letcher, Ann Sanson, John W. Toumbourou, Erica FrydenbergAbstract:The transition to adulthood is characterised by both great potential for Positive change and a relatively high incidence of problem outcomes. A multidimensional model of Positive Development during the transition to adulthood (at 19-20 years) has recently been proposed. However, an unresolved question regarding the nature of Positive Development during this time is how best to conceptualise its relationship to psychopathology. We drew on data from 1158 participants in the Australian Temperament Project, a large longitudinal community-based study that has followed young people's psychosocial adjustment from infancy to early adulthood. Using structural equation modelling, we compared three models reflecting different conceptualisations of the relationship between Positive Development and psychopathology. The results suggest that Positive Development and psychopathology are best modelled as separate but correlated constructs. Hence, Development in one domain is likely to influence the other, although separate and specific Developmental pathways are also likely to be operating.
