It was found that the key school students were significantly higher in Engagement, Perseverance, Optimism, Connectedness and Happiness than the general school students, and girls were significantly higher than boys in Perseverance and Connectedness. With the increase in grade, all of the adolescent's score patterns on Engagement, Perseverance, Optimism, Connectedness and Happiness showed a decreasing trend.
