Abstract
The article presents the theory of positive youth development, its main assumptions and practical implications for work with youth. At the same time, the publication is a report on the adaptation of the PYD-SF-PL questionnaires and the shortened version of PYD-VSF-PL, used to measure the five main indicators of adaptation to adulthood (5 Cs). The study involved 573 people aged 14 to 25 (x = 18.5; Sd = 2.7). The questionnaires in the Polish version are characterized by good psychometric properties: they are reliable (alpha of the full version = 0.905; alpha of the shortened version = 0.843) and accurate, correlations with the level of perceived social support, the level of life satisfaction and mental resilience were observed.
