Abstract: The present study explored the influence of teacher-student attachment,peer attachment on the junior high school orphan students' mental health,and the parallel mediating effects of self-stigma and resilience. 520 junior high school orphan students participated in this investigation. Results indicated that:(1) Both teacher-student attachment and peer attachment significantly and positively predicted junior high school orphan students' mental health directly, but teacher-student attachment played a greater and more important role. (2) Self-stigma and resilience were the parallel mediating variables of attachment in predicting mental health of junior high school orphan students. The negative mediating effect of self-stigma was greater than the positive mediating effect of resilience. (3) The effect of teacher-student attachment on mental health of junior high school orphan students was totally mediated by self-stigma and resilience. In contrast, the effect of peer attachment on mental health of junior high school orphan students was partially mediated by self-stigma and resilience. The results provided theoretical and practical evidences for the mental health education of orphans in welfare centralized support schools in China.

Key words: mental health, attachment, self-stigma, resilience, junior high school orphan students
