Abstract
Factors that promote the positive development of adolescents are referred to as developmental resources. This article, guided by the theory of developmental resources, analyzes the ideological and moral assessment project data from 11 middle schools in X District of City B. The study found that: adolescents have a relatively abundant supply of developmental resources overall, but there are also deficiencies; there are significant differences in developmental resources among adolescents of different genders and ages; the level of parental education significantly affects the richness of adolescents' developmental resources. It is recommended to specifically address the weak areas of adolescents' developmental resources; to tailor education to the needs of different genders; and to broaden the channels through which adolescents can access developmental resources.
