Joel C. states, in part, regarding the Search Institute, "There have been several researchers who have, over the past 10 years, followed the Search Institute from it's meager beginnings to the influence it has become. Many of their studies followed up on the Search Institute's Developmental Assets and Liabilities for children. It has been stated in their findings that there is no concrete evidence that a child who has 30 assets will be more successful that a child who has 15 or 10 or even 4."
