摘要

The Dual-Factor Model posits that mental health should be evaluated comprehensively from both positive and negative dimensions. Increasing evidence supports this model, and the heterogeneity of mental health issues has been widely recognized. However, the role of interpersonal factors, which significantly influence adolescents’ mental health, has not been sufficiently explored in mental health development. Using latent profile analysis and latent transition analysis, this study aimed to explore different patterns of adolescent life satisfaction and negative emotions, and analyze their transition nature and influencing factors. A total of 1649 adolescents in Henan Province were followed up in two waves of the study over 6 months. Four mental health groups were identified among adolescents: complete mental health group (55.9–57.6%), symptomatic but satisfied group (2–17.6%), vulnerable group (19.6–30%) and troubled group (5.2–12.1%). The complete mental health group was the most stable, and the other groups generally progressed towards better adjustment. Teacher support and peer support were more conducive to positive changes in mental health patterns, whereas parental differential treatment raised the risk of adolescents exhibiting low levels of mental health. The identification of these four groups and their distinct transition patterns highlights the importance of screening and monitoring changes in adolescents’ dual-factor mental health, which is essential for developing targeted intervention strategies. Interventions programs targeting parental differential treatment, teacher support and peer support could help sustain that trend.
