Abstract

The rural-to-urban migration of adolescents influences their positive development. Existing research has focused on the various aspects of the positive development of migrant adolescents in isolation while ignoring the natural development patterns of positive development. In the present study, the positive development profiles of migrant adolescents (indexed by character, competence, self-worth, and connection) were identified using a person-centered approach, and direct and interactive associations of resilience and family capital with positive development profiles were examined. This study included 1279 migrant adolescents in junior high schools who were instructed to complete a series of questionnaires. The results revealed three positive development profiles, namely low, moderate, and high positive development. A multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that female migrant adolescents were more likely than their male counterparts to be assigned to the high positive development profile than to the low positive development profile. Moreover, migrant adolescents with higher resilience and family economic capital were more likely to be assigned to the high positive development profile than to the low and moderate positive development profiles. Migrant adolescents with higher family cultural capital were more likely to be assigned to the moderate positive development profile than to the high positive development profile. The interaction term between resilience and family cultural capital was found to be significant. This study expands prior research by focusing on natural positive development patterns and examining the compensatory interplay of resilience and family capital on positive development profiles.
