A variety of analyses (crossRtabulations correlations and analyses of variance were used to explore the link between assets and outcomes.Simple correlations showed that the
developmental assets as reflected by the total DAP score were significantly correlated with
every outcome in every country in these particular samples with the effect sizes at the country
level ranging from the high end of small to the lower end of medium (per Cohen 1988).The
correlations between assets and outcomes were highest for the Workforce/Livelihoods
Development Education and Promotion of Civil Society outcomes.(Figure 2 shows the basic
correlations for the aggregate sample between the total DAP asset scores and the scores on
the five broad outcomes in this study. The effects sizes for the aggregate correlations were in
the high medium range.
