Dimensionality of the Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale: Confirmatory Factor Analyses (2010, background): “As pointed out by Scales et al. (2004) , ‘‘studies of adolescent behavior are dominated by naming, measuring, and predicting problem behaviors … empirically, the territory of positive developmental outcomes, as contrasted with that of risk behaviors, has been less explored’’ (p. 27).”
Observed Ecological Assets in Families, Schools, and Neighborhoods: Conceptualization, Measurement, and Relations With Positive and Negative Developmental Outcomes (2006, background): “Benson (2003) and colleagues at Search Institute (Benson, Leffert, Scales, & Blyth, 1998; Leffert et al., 1998; Scales et al., 2000 ) proposed slightly different ideal social experiences for youth.”

The definition and preliminary measurement of thriving in adolescence (2009, background): “For example, Scales et al. (2000) named one clearly domain-specific status indicator (school success as operationalized by grades) but also several others that suggest more global developmental processes, even though they were operationalized as point-in-time statuses, such as overcoming adversity…”
Human Thriving: A Conceptual Debate and Literature Review (2017, background): “For example, being motivated to learn is a key internal asset for adolescents, whose academic performance is often considered a marker of thriving (see, e.g., Lerner et al., 2005; Scales et al., 2000; Smith & Barker, 2009).”
