Abstract: This study sought to conduct a kind of measurement on the complexity of adolescent ideal self-representation,and to examine its' role of self-regulation on depression and peer relationship.Results showed that there was no significant difference for the complexity of adolescent ideal self-representation between the middle-school students and the high-school ones,while it was not the case for gender:the level of complexity of female ideal self-representation was higher significantly than that of male students.Analysis revealed that complex individuals will be buffered against the effects of stressful life events,and will experience less depression; the similar relation also showed in peer relationship:the more complex the ideal self,the better the peer relationship.In addition,results also revealed that the ideal self-representation and depression association was mediated by resilience,which implied that ideal self-representation may be an important ingredient of resilience.

Key words: ideal self-representation, life events, depression, peer relationship, resilience
