This paper examines the relationships among life satisfaction, positive youth development, and problem behaviour. A total of 7,975 Secondary One students (4,169 boys and 3,387 girls; with most aged 12) of Chinese ethnicity recruited from 48 schools responded to validated measures of life satisfaction, positive youth development and problem behaviour. While life satisfaction was positively correlated with different measures of positive youth development, these measures were negatively correlated with measures of substance abuse, delinquency and intention to engage in problem behaviour. Based on a series of structural equation models, a non-recursive model was found to best fit the data, which suggests that adolescents having higher levels of positive youth development are more satisfied with life and have fewer problem behaviour, with life satisfaction and problem behaviour negatively reinforcing each other.
本文探讨了生活满意度、青少年积极发展与问题行为之间的关系。从48所学校招募的7975名华裔初一学生（4169名男生和3387名女生；大多数年龄为12岁）对生活满意度、青少年积极发展和问题行为的有效测量指标进行了回应。虽然生活满意度与青少年积极发展的不同测量指标呈正相关，但这些指标与药物滥用、犯罪及参与问题行为的意图的测量指标呈负相关。基于一系列结构方程模型，发现一个非递归模型最适合这些数据，这表明青少年积极发展水平较高者对生活更满意，且问题行为较少，生活满意度和问题行为之间存在负向相互强化作用。
