| Abstract: | We introduce this special issue on the foundations and functions of adolescent thriving by summarizing the developmental systems
theory-based, positive youth development (PYD) perspective. The PYD perspective frames much of contemporary research about
health and positive development across the adolescent period and, more specifically, frames the 4-H Study of PYD, the data
set from which the empirical work in this special issue is drawn. We discuss the different ways in which the articles in this
special issue elucidate different facets of the PYD perspective. In addition, we summarize the implications of this research
for future scholarship and for applications aimed at improving the life chances of diverse adolescents. |
