positive youth development in contexts
The character strength of Love is necessary for building and maintain-
ing positive relationships with others: “When you find relationships with
others important, you invest more time and effort and they improve”.
Humour plays an important role in positive relationships because “with
humour we create a positive atmosphere which positively affects everyone”.
Comparing the results of the quantitative and qualitative
analyses
A comparison of the findings of the quantitative and qualitative analyses
will enable us to conclude with greater certainty which character strengths
add the most by way of achieving each of the 5 Cs in the PYD framework.
Table 3 provides an overview of the results of both analyses. In the last col-
umn (overlap), character strengths showing at least moderate correlations
(r > .30) and mentioned by at least 15% of the participating students are
highlighted.
