AB Developmental assets may be defined as the internal and external resourceswithin an individual’s social ecology that predict positive outcomes.The present work aimed to examine the relationship between developmentalassets and healthy lifestyles among Spanish youth. Data from the PYDCross-national Project in Spain were collected through an anonymousquestionnaire based on The Developmental Assets Profile and certain lifestyleindicators. The sample comprised 768 youth (Mage = 19.50, SD = 2.27;60.5% female). Youth who reported having been drunk or having smokedin the last 30 days, and those who indicated they had inhaled a substanceor consumed marijuana or another illicit drug over the previous 12 monthswere shown to have less of a commitment to learning, lower positive values,and fewer social skills. Further, participants who reported physical activity(at least 30 min) two or more times per week revealed greater empowerment,the constructive use of time, positive values, and a positive identity.Moreover, the consumption of at least one serving of fruit or vegetablesevery day was associated with more positive values. Gambling was relatedto lower scores for commitment to learning, social competencies, positivevalues, boundaries and expectations, and social support. The results suggestthe need to design programmes to foster developmental assets and promotehealthy lifestyles among young people.
