Accelerating Progress: A New Era of Research on Character Development

Auteurs: Sarah Clement, Richard Bollinger

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Youth and Adolescence | Uitgave 6/2017

Abstract

Adolescent character development is a high priority for educators, policymakers, and front-line youth workers. To meet this growing demand, and as exemplified in the five articles in this special section, character development scholars are drawing from a range of academic disciplines to push beyond the traditional boundaries of the science of character development. These articles highlight important trends in character research, including the co-development of a subset of character strengths, the articulation of developmental trajectories of character, the use of advanced methodological approaches, and the implications for education. Studies such as these are critically important for establishing the research base that will be used to design the character development programs of tomorrow.
