CONTEXT: In the recent research on adolescent psychosocial development, two theoretical and empirical perspectives stand out: (1) psychological wellbeing; and (2) Developmental assets, including external and internal assetsGOAL: Within this framework, we carried a characterization of psychological wellbeing and developmental assets in children and adolescents from a Portuguese schoolMETHOD: The study included 201 students from the 6th, 9th and 11th grades, a scale to assess the psychological wellbeing and a scale to assess the developmental assetsRESULTS: This article presents the distribution of the students for levels of wellbeing and developmental assets, as well as the significant differences found between students in psychological wellbeing and developmental assets and the correlations between their dimensionsCONCLUSIONS: Despite the consistency with other studies, the results allow us to raise some questions regarding the particularity of the context of the students, which suggest the need for further studies
