Analyses of variance showed that there was a significant positive link between quartile level of
developmental assets and Violence Prevention in!Bangladesh and!Jordan with youth at higher
asset levels more likely to have the Violence Prevention outcome but this relationship was not
observed in Honduras or Rwanda. In the latter two countries a!higher level of assets was
contrary to expectations related to a higher attitudinal acceptance of violence as a conflict
resolution strategy. That unexpected relationship adversely affected the overall assets–
Violence Prevention association. Even!so higher levels of assets in those two countries were
still as in Bangladesh and!Jordan related to!lower levels of reported actual engagement in
violence.
