关于青少年参与课外活动和社区活动期间发生的发展过程的理论和研究很少。作为朝着这个方向迈出的一步，我们进行了 10 个焦点小组，旨在让高中生描述他们在这些活动中的“成长经历”。年轻人报告了个人和人际发展的过程。个人经历包括实验和身份工作、主动技能的发展（例如学习设定目标和管理时间）以及情绪调节的学习策略。人际交往经验包括获取新的同伴关系和知识、培养团体社交技能（例如承担责任和如何作为团队合作）以及与成年人建立有价值的联系。在各个领域，青少年将自己描述为自身发展和变化的推动者。青年活动似乎是青少年积极发展的背景。
Little theory and research exists on the developmental processes that occur during adolescents' participation in extracurricular and community based-activities. As a step in that direction, we conducted 10 focus groups aimed at getting high school students' descriptions of their "growth experiences" in these activities. The youth reported both personal and interpersonal processes of development. The personal experiences included experimentation and identity work, development of initiative skills such as learning to set goals and manage time, and learning strategies for emotional regulation. The interpersonal experiences included acquiring new peer relationships and knowledge, developing group social skills such as taking responsibility and how to work together as a team, and developing valuable connections to adults. Across domains, adolescents described themselves as the agents of their own development and change. Youth activities appear to be a context in which adolescents are active producers of development.
