      abstract = {This volume presents the results of the Flourishing  Children Project. The study addressed gaps in the research  on indicators of positive development of adolescents. Such  indicators are essential for the balanced and  scientifically sound study of adolescents. Yet measures of  many aspects of flourishing are not available, and when  they do exist, they are rarely measured in a  developmentally appropriate manner for adolescents. In  addition, they are often too long for program evaluations  and surveys, have not been tested on diverse populations,  nor carefully validated as predictors of positive outcomes.  The Flourishing Children Project undertook the development  of scales for adolescents ages 12-17 for 19 aspects of  flourishing covering six domains: flourishing in school and  work, personal flourishing, flourishing in relationships,  relationship skills, helping others to flourish, and  environmental stewardship. This volume describes the  four-stage process of developing the scales, including:  Reviewing the literature for extant measures for items to  test and synthesizing the existing research into consensus  definitions for each construct; conducting cognitive  testing of items with adolescents and their parents; pilot  testing the items; and conducting psychometric analyses.},
