Abstract: Based on cognitive-relational theory of emotion and coping and Interpersonal theories, 1292 adolescents (age = 14.64 ± 0.63 years) were selected as subjects in a follow-up study to explore the effect of defeat on depression, nSSI and suicidal ideation. The results showed that :(1) Defeat is a risk factor for adolescent mental health; (2) There were four types of interpersonal relationship among adolescents: interpersonal relationship risk group, father-child relationship high-risk group, interpersonal relationship general group and interpersonal relationship advantage group; (3) Perceived stress played a partially mediating role in the relationship between defeat and depression, NSSI and suicidal ideation; (4) Interpersonal relationship types modereated the second half of the mediation model, namely, the effect of perceived stress on adolescent depression, NSSI and suicidal ideation. Specifically, with the increase of interpersonal relationship score, the effect of perceived stress on adolescent mental health decreased, and in the interpersonal relationship advantage group, perceived stress could not predict adolescent NSSI. The results showed that interpersonal relationship could buffer the negative impact of stress. The current study used latent profile analysis to reveal the mediating and moderating effects of perceived stress and interpersonal relationship types, providing more explanations for the developmental mechanisms of depression, NSSI and suicidal ideation among adolescents.

Key words: adolescent mental health, defeat, perceived stress, interpersonal relationship
