Although numbers of youth with disabilities (YWD) are increasing, this population continues to be poorly represented in psychological and developmental research. There is a demonstrated need to better understand identity development in YWD.
The purpose of this review was to determine the applicability of a contemporary developmental model, positive youth development (PYD), for YWD. PYD describes six "Cs" that contribute to thriving in youth: competence, confidence, connection, character, caring/compassion, and contribution. We explored which "Cs" contribute to identity development in YWD, what appears to be unique, and how PYD could be adapted to better include this population.
Through a qualitative metasynthesis, we explored how PYD emerged across the qualitative literature from psychology and related fields for YWD. We coded 18 qualitative articles according to the original definitions of the "Cs" of PYD and tracked emerging constructs across included studies.
Findings reveal evidence for four out of six of the original "Cs" in YWD. Two emerging "Cs," coping and constraints, may be unique to this population.
PYD may be applicable for YWD, but an expanded version may be more relevant to this group. The addition of newly defined "Cs" could contribute to a better understanding of positive development in YWD and other marginalized populations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
尽管残疾青年的数量在增加，但这一群体在心理学和发展研究中的代表性仍然很低。显然有必要更好地了解残疾青年的身份认同发展。
本综述的目的是确定当代发展模型——积极青年发展（PYD）对残疾青年的适用性。PYD描述了有助于青年茁壮成长的六个“C”：能力、自信、联系、品格、关怀/同情和贡献。我们探讨了哪些“C”有助于残疾青年的身份认同发展，哪些似乎是独特的，以及PYD如何能够进行调整以更好地纳入这一群体。
通过定性元综合分析，我们探讨了PYD在心理学及相关领域针对残疾青年的定性文献中是如何出现的。我们根据PYD中“C”的原始定义对18篇定性文章进行编码，并追踪纳入研究中出现的构念。
研究结果揭示了残疾青年中六个原始“C”中的四个的相关证据。两个新出现的“C”，即应对和限制，可能是这一群体所特有的。
PYD可能适用于残疾青年，但扩展版本可能与该群体更相关。新增的新定义的“C”有助于更好地理解残疾青年和其他边缘化群体的积极发展。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2024美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
