本研究旨在探討兒童發展性資產展現情形及其與兒童行為之關連，採問卷調查法，以苗栗縣國小五、六年級兒童為研究對象，所得之有效樣本共計510位兒童。以「兒童發展性資產量表」、「兒童危險行為量表」、「兒童展能行為量表」、「兒童生活適應量表」為研究調查工具，研究所得資料以t考驗、變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關等統計方法進行資料處理分析，主要發現如下：
1.國小高年級兒童展現在發展性資產整體情形尚屬理想；在內涵方面，兩大向度達顯著不同（內向性資產多於外向性資產），八種類別資產亦達到顯著不同。
2.國小高年級兒童的發展性資產因性別、家庭結構不同而有所差異；但不因年齡不同而有所差異。
3.國小高年級兒童發展性資產與兒童危險行為有顯著負相關，與兒童展能行為、兒童生活適應有顯著正相關。
4.本研究結果與美國地區研究結果大致相同。

The objective of this study was to investigate developmental assets for upper elementary children in Maioli county and the relationship between assets and behaviors. Self-report surveys were completed by a diverse sample of 510 students in 5th-6th grades. Children Developmental Assets Scale, Children Risk Behavior Scale, Children Thriving Behavior Scale and Children Life Adjustment Scale were used as the survey instrument.
The data were analyzed by T-test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation. Four main findings of this study were as followed:
1. A majority of students reported experiencing enough assets. They also reported experiencing more internal assets than external assets, and different degree of eight categories of assets.
2. There were statistically significant differences on developmental assets by gender and family composition, but no differences by grade.
3. Developmental assets for upper elementary children presented negative correlation with children risk behavior, positive correlation with children thriving behavior and children life adjustment.
4. The result of the survey and the States were approximately the same.
