Note: MC = moral competence; BC = behavioral competence; CPI-1 = one item from clear and positive identity; CPYDS-2 = two subscales (i.e., behavioral competence and moral competence) of the CPYDS; PA = prosocial attributes second-order factor; PID = positive identity second-order factor; KEY 36 = indicator based on 36 key items of the CPYDS; BF = beliefs in the future.
