Abstract
We report on an effectiveness evaluation of the Youth Empowerment Solutions (YES) program. YES applies empowerment theory to an after-school program for middle school students. YES is an active learning curriculum designed to help youth gain confidence in themselves, think critically about their community, and work with adults to create positive community change. We employed a modified randomized control group design to test the hypothesis that the curriculum would enhance youth empowerment, increase positive developmental outcomes, and decrease problem behaviors. Our sample included 367 youth from 13 urban and suburban middle schools. Controlling for demographic characteristics and pretest outcome measures, we found that youth who received more components of the curriculum reported more psychological empowerment and prosocial outcomes and less antisocial outcomes than youth who received fewer of the intervention components. The results support both empowerment theory and program effectiveness.
摘要
我们报告了一项青年赋权解决方案 (YES) 计划的效果评估。YES 将赋权理论应用于针对中学生的课后项目。YES 是一种积极学习课程，旨在帮助青年增强自信，批判性地思考他们的社区，并与成年人合作创造积极的社区变革。我们采用了改良的随机对照分组设计来检验这样一个假设，即课程将增强青年的赋权感，增加积极的发展成果，并减少问题行为。我们的样本包括来自 13 所城市和郊区中学的 367 名青少年。控制人口统计特征和前测结果衡量指标后，我们发现，接受更多课程内容的青少年比接受较少干预内容的青少年报告了更多的心理赋权和亲社会成果，以及更少的反社会成果。结果支持赋权理论和项目有效性。
