Abstract: This study explored the trajectory subgroups of adolescents' psychological suzhi and the effects of parental and peer attachment on that by using growth mixture model through person-centered approach. Participants were 943 secondary school students (grades 7~8) from three junior high schools. Participants were measured once every half a year, total three times. The mean age of participants was 12.83 years, SD=0.74 years at T1. Results indicated that, for 7th grade students, there were two subgroups, namely moderate-decline group (79%) and high-increase group (21%); and if initial level of paternal or maternal attachment was higher, the trajectory of psychological suzhi was more likely to be classified as high-increase group relative to moderate-decline group. For 8th grade students, there were also two trajectory subgroups of psychological suzhi, namely low-stable group (84%) and high-increase group (16%); and if initial level of paternal attachment was higher, the trajectory of psychological suzhi was more likely to be classified as high-increase group relative to low-stable group. This study suggested that the developmental trajectory of junior high school students' psychological suzhi could be divided into different subgroups. Parent-child attachment relationship quality has a positive effect on the development of psychological suzhi for junior high school students. These findings have certain guiding significance for the cultivation of psychological suzhi among junior high school students.

Key words: parental attachment, peer attachment, psychological suzhi, developmental trajectory, junior high school students
