Meaningful involvement in instrumental activity, social support, and wellbeing were assessed in two studies. The first study focused on older adolescents enrolled in college (mean age, I8. 8; N= 152), and the second on urban black male, and pregnant female, teen-agers (mean age, 17.1; N= 92), half of whom (N= 46) were school dropouts. In both studies, regression analyses indicated that meaningful instrumental activity was positively related to life satisfaction, independent of social support from friends and from parents. In addition, meaningful instrumental activity was positively related to self-esteem to a greater extent (a) for male than for female college students (Study I); and (b) for school-attending than for schooldropout urban black males (Study 2). In Study 2, higher mean levels of meaningful instrumental activity were reported (a) by school-attending than by school-dropout urban adolescents; and (b) by black male teens than by pregnant female teens. The implications for future research and interven-tion are discussed.
