Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 544 adolescents in a junior high school and a senior high school in Chongqing by using the Belief in a Just World Scale, Hope Scale, and Depression Scale, and the data results were analyzed by SPSS and Mplus. Results: (1) Teenagers’ personal belief in a just world is higher than that in a general belief in a just world. (2) The general belief in a just world significantly predicts the dynamic thinking and path thinking of hope, and also significantly predicts depression;Personal belief in a just world can significantly predict the dynamic thinking and path thinking of hope, but it can’t significantly predict depression. (3) Only the path thinking of hope plays a significant mediating role in the influence of belief in a just world on depression, while the dynamic thinking of hope has no significant mediating role in the influence of belief in a just world on depression.
