Abstract

At the youth stage, they psychologically have their own strength which later will contribute to their self
potential. The Anugerah Remaja Perdana Rakan Muda (ARP) is a self development program which
prepares the youth in facing the adolescent and adulthood challenges and finds their own potentials. As
such, this study is to assess the youth’s social psychological construct which is the behaviour, as the
self development element in the ARP based on the Theory of the Planned Behaviour as the study
model. And, adapt the social psychology needs based on the youth potential development theory and
model which is in line with the needs of the youth today. Previous studies that have been conducted support these findings. Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) has been widely used in various studies to
predict the behaviour (Connere, Jones & Berg, 2010) in population include the youth (Baker
& White, 2010). The antecedent of the planned behaviour study focused on the formation of
attitudes in youth behaviour. This study has important implications to the theoretical, practical and
policy towards youth potential development program.
