The goal of this review is to provide an overview of the themes covered in the Handbook of Positive Youth Development: Advancing Research, Policy, and Practice in Global Contexts. The handbook divided into two sections conveys empirical, methodological, and theoretical perspectives pertinent for developmental psychology and family studies, along with implications for research, policy, and practice. As the chapters implement a wide variety of methods and practices in quantitative and qualitative psychological science, readers might enrich their understanding of quantitative analysis of multi-country and multi-groups data, culturally sensitive designs of quantitative research, and assessment of cultural groups. The book is appealing for the readership and audience of this journal as its contributions report qualitative and quantitative findings outside the mainstream Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic settings. Thus, by identifying mechanisms of group differences, similarities, and patterns of development, novel insights for policy and practice in a myriad of contexts could emerge, advancing our knowledge of important factor for scholars interested in positive psychology.
