At the first time point, students were seventh through twelfth grade students at 80 high schools and 52 middle schools. High schools were randomly selected from all high schools in the United States, stratified on region of the country, urbanicity, school size, school type, percent White, percent Black, grade span, and curriculum. A feeder (middle) school for each high school chosen was also selected to participate. The study population consisted of 20,747 participants who participated in both waves of measurement under study. Response rate at Wave 1 was 78.9% and 88.2% at Wave 2; as high school seniors at Wave 1 were not included in Wave 2 because according to Hoffman, Monge, and Chou: “Retention is not a valid measure for this study”(p.
The 40 Developmental Assets were originally created in 1990, however research began a year prior in 1989. The Search Institute began a variety of studies on student’s grades 6th -12th. The original survey entitled “Search Institute Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors”, was given to both public and private school students in the United States. When the Search Institute released the first report titled “The Troubled Journey: A Portrait of 6th-12th Grade Youth” in 1990, there were only 30 Developmental Assets. But by 1996 based on studies, research, surveys, and focus groups of about 350,000 youth, a revision was made and in turn the report became 40 Developmental Assets.

Department of Education in the late 1990s called the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, which attempts to measure the academic progress of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten through fifth grade. The data show that the following factors affect a child's school performance, either negatively or positively: the child has highly educated parents, the child's parents have high socioeconomic status, the child's mother is thirty or older at the time of her first child's birth, the child has low birth weight, the child's parents speak English in the home, the child is adopted, the child's parents are involved in the PTA, and the child has many books in his home. Of these factors, low birth weight, being adopted and being in a non-English-speaking home affects a child's school performance negatively. The data also show that the following factors do not affect a child's school performance, either negatively or positively: the child's family is intact, the child's parents have recently moved into a better neighborhood, the child's mother does not work between birth and kindergarten, the child attends Head Start, the child's parents regularly take him to museums, the child is regularly spanked, the child frequently watches television, and the child's parents read to him nearly every day. The authors note that, generally, the factors that do not tend to affect the child's school performance, either negatively or positively, are things that parents do, whereas the factors that do tend to affect the child's school performance are what the parents
