The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the aspects of self-regulation and positive youth development factors. Self-regulation skills are considered to be a protective factor in relation with resilience in young people. Strengthening the capacities of young people contributes to a successful transition to adulthood. Individuals thus develop positive traits, thereby making contributions to themselves and their community. The present study therefore focuses on the correlation between PYD factors and three aspects of self-regulation with the assumption of a significant positive correlation. Similarly, it is hypothesized that the aspects of self-regulation will make significant positive contributions to positive youth development. The self-regulation scale was used to collect data on the aspects of self-regulation, while the positive youth development questionnaire was used to collect data on PYD factors. Hierarchical regression analysis was applied to analyze data. The results of the study suggest that cognitive self-regulation is the only aspect of self-regulation that is significantly related to all the factors. Despite the limitations of the present study, it is evident that it contributes to theoretical and practical fields by emphasizing the importance of strenghtening self-regulation skills, which are important predictors of positive traits in young people.
