Positive Youth Development (PYD) presents a strength-based conception of transition to adulthood that has been well-supported by literature to date. However, research is needed to integrate the pathways to PYD and the possible moderators. This study aimed to analyze the relationships between internal resources for resilience and PYD and to examine the moderating role of short-term and long-term self-regulation by gender. To reach this overall aim, a cross-sectional study was performed with a national sample of 2700 youths (73.3% girls; Mage = 21.3, SD = 2.79) from Portugal, who completed self-report measures. Regression-based moderation models were developed. Results indicated that greater presence of internal resources for resilience was related to higher PYD. Long-term self-regulation and gender moderated this relationship, such that a greater effect was observed in men with high levels of long-term self-regulation. These results highlight the need to integrate prevention and promotion paradigms to foster healthy development in youth, as well as the importance of taking self-regulation skills and gender into account in program design.

长期的自我调节节制了内部资源在抵御葡萄牙积极青年发展中的复原力。

积极青年发展（PYD）提出了一种以力量为基础的向成年过渡的概念，迄今为止，这一观点得到了文献的充分支持。但是，需要进行研究以整合通往PYD的途径和可能的主持人。这项研究旨在分析内部资源与复原力和PYD之间的关系，并研究性别对短期和长期自我调节的调节作用。为了实现这一总体目标，对葡萄牙的2700名青年（其中73.3％的女孩；法师= 21.3，SD = 2.79）进行了横断面研究，他们完成了自我报告措施。开发了基于回归的缓和模型。结果表明，内部资源更多的用于恢复能力与较高的PYD有关。长期的自我调节和性别调节了这种关系，因此，在长期自我调节水平较高的男性中观察到了更大的效果。这些结果凸显了需要整合预防和促进范式以促进青年人的健康发展，以及在计划设计中考虑自我调节技能和性别的重要性。
