Abstract: The purpose of present study was to explore the development of migrant children's stress coping,depression and social anxiety,as well as the dynamic relationship between them.Based on cluster sampling,1,164 migrant children from 5 public schools and 1 migrant school were selected to participate in the study at Time 1 and 680 of them were tracked at Time2 over a one year interval.The analysis was based on the data from these 680 participants who have participated in both surveys.The results showed that:(1) During one-year's adaptation,migrant children's entire level of positive coping was enhanced,and negative coping and depression were decreased,while the level of social anxiety has no significant change.(2) In individual level,a polarization phenomenon emerged in migrant children's stress coping,depression and social anxiety;younger,female,migrant children in primary grades and those who have just migrate into the city followed the better developmental pattern.(3) There was a mutual effect in the dynamic relationship between stress coping,depression and social anxiety among migrant children:pretest stress coping,depression and social anxiety could positively predict their corresponding posttest level;both pretest and posttest stress coping could predict the immediate depression and social anxiety of migrant children,while pretest depression and social anxiety took different delayed effect on posttest stress coping.

Key words: migrant children, stress coping, depression, social anxiety, longitudinal study
