Assessing trajectories of adolescents' fidelity: An examination of contextual influences and implications of fidelity for positive development

Data for this study were derived from the 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development, a longitudinal study launched in 2002 to examine the nature, bases and developmental course of thriving in adolescents. This project examined developmental trajectories of fidelity existing across adolescence. Adult supports and parenting were important to the youth's development.
