Abstract
DREAMS (DRivers, Enablers, and pathways of Adolescent developMent in Singapore) is a large-scale longitudinal research program tracking over 7,000 Singapore adolescents from Secondary 1 to 4, examining their school and career aspirations, identity development, peer relationships, wellbeing, and daily lives with special attention to youth from financially disadvantaged backgrounds and those with disabilities. This symposium features findings from five interrelated papers that deepen our understanding of adolescent development: latent profiles of student flourishing; the role of career clarity and uncertainty; the dynamics of parental and peer relationships; the impact of achievement goals on school adjustment; and psychosocial diversity among low-SES youth. Together, these papers uncover hidden patterns of strength and vulnerability, offering new insights to guide educational practice and policy.
