Book Description
Adolescence is a tumultuous time, and for those with risk factors, it can be even more difficult. This study examined the relationships among intrinsic and extrinsic protective factors such as high self-esteem, high self-efficacy, mattering to others, positive sense of identity, and healthy peer relationships in female adolescents. Additionally, the current study assessed the impact of a positive youth development intervention designed for this particular population. The potential sample consisted of adolescent girls who were students at an alternative high school in the Southwestern region of the United States. Of the 25 girls at the school, 12 participated in the study and completed pre-test instruments measuring self-esteem, self-efficacy, mattering to friends and parents, identity distress, and relational aggression. The instruments were administered before and after a positive youth development intervention of which 10 of the 12 participants attended.

Book Description
Adolescents are faced with daily obstacles that affect their ability to progress into adulthood successfully. Rising divorce rates and subsequent single parenting, adolescent pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, violence, and lack of parental involvement represent only a few of the many issues teens confront. School nurses are on the front lines, attempting to educate youth against an alarming rise in personal and social controversies that impede their ability to come to school ready to learn. As part of the educational team, school nurses are in a prime position to develop and integrate intervention strategies aimed at assisting adolescents during this tumultuous period in their lives. Research has linked self-esteem and social support with health compromising behaviors. Likewise, research has suggested a link between support group participation and a decrease in health compromising behaviors. School-based support groups are one intervention strategy that is currently being used to improve students' self-esteem and social support. The purpose of this research is to evaluate their efficacy on self-esteem and social support. Thirty-seven students from an urban Southwestern high school participated in a 10-week support group. Self-esteem and social support were measured using Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale and the Personal Resource Questionnaire Part II. Results suggested that self-esteem and social support were moderately, positively correlated and, while students who participated in support groups did not report a statistically significant change in either self-esteem or social support, further research is needed to explore the relationship between these variables.

Book Description
Seligman (2012) suggested that the development, practice, and use of character strengths allows individuals to be at their best, because character strengths are manifestations of individuals’ potential. Although empirical evidence supports the idea that adults’ endorsement and use of character strengths is associated with positive outcomes, there is limited research to support that this type of intervention has the same effect on adolescents. The current study tested the effectiveness of an established character strength intervention in high school health classes in an adolescent sample (N = 119). This intervention had to do with the labeling and increased use of character strengths particularly central to the person, often referred to as signature strengths. Participants who were assigned the signature strength exercise for one week did not demonstrate an increase in life satisfaction, nor did they demonstrate an increase in general or academic self-esteem. Interestingly, the intervention group had a significant reduction in their academic self-esteem. The findings of the current study suggest that we may not see an improvement in the areas of life satisfaction or self-esteem when implementing a brief signature strength intervention in a secondary classroom setting with an adolescent sample.
