The Positive Youth Development Scale-Short Form (PYD-SF) is a 34-item questionnaire assessing the Five Cs model of PYD that has received little interest in contexts outside of the United States. This study aimed to validate the PYD-SF for use with older adolescents in a French-Canadian context, by testing the bifactor structure and examining its reliability and validity with respect to important adolescent outcomes (e.g., vitality, depression, substance use). The French-Canadian version of the scale was administered to 359 ninth-grade students (Mage = 14.39; 50% girls) attending two schools in the province of Quebec. The results found support for the bifactor model. Likewise, the global PYD showed moderate associations with the adolescent outcomes in expected directions with high internal consistency estimates. These findings suggest the French-Canadian version of PYD-SF reliably measures the global construct of PYD, but caution is needed in calculating the C-specific subscale scores
