Objectives To evaluate the states of self concept and mental health of adolescents, and to ascertain the relationship between them. Methods Piers Harris Children's Self concept Scale and the Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90) were used in 870 junior high school students at 1-2 grades in 3 middle schools in Beijing. Results Girls scored higher on the total scores of self-concept, especially on sub-scales of behavior, gregarization, happiness, but they scored lower in sub-score on anxiety than boys ( P <0.05). The differences between students at grade 1 and grade 2 on self-concept were minimal. The SCL-90 results showed that 17.9% of students had the positive factor score over than 1. The main problems (light and medium) existing among students were hostility (31.l%, 7.5%), obsessive-compulsive (25.2%, 6.3%) and interpersonal sensitivity (23.9%, 6.9%). There were no significant differences in the all of SCL-90 factors between boys and girls ( P >0.05). The total score of self-concept was negatively associated with the total score of SCL-90( r =-0.515, P <0.001). Conclusions Girls than boys have the higher level of self-concept, however girls suffer from anxiety disorders easily. Adolescents' self-concept levels are associated with their mental health status. More attention should be paid to the development of self-concept and personality of students in schooling.
