This study expanded on previous research by exploring alignment of qualitative interviews of Youth Purpose with recent surveys developed to capture a global measure of Youth Purpose among late adolescents. Initial data were collected from college students through the Measure of Adolescent Purpose (MAP, Authors) and subjected to latent class analysis (Asparouhov & Muthen, 2014; Nyland-Gibson, Grimm, Quirk, & Furlong, 2014), yielding five classes (n = 500, VLMR Likelihood Ratio Test for four v. five classes mean = 1.480, SD = 16.507, p <. 05). These classes were used to identify potential interview participants, who were randomly selected from each class list. Interview results aligned with the latent classes and provide contextual data to supplement findings from the MAP instrument.
