The Impact of Labor Values on the Latent Categories and Transitions of Adolescent Mental Health: A Dual-Factor Model Perspective

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2025.04.018

Abstract

Abstract:

To investigate the trends of the class of individual mental health over time, and the effect of labor values on the latent class transition of the adolescents’ mental health, 444 junior students were investigated three times with a six-month interval, by using the Labor Values Scale, the Scale of Depression and Anxiety, Buss & Perry Aggression Questionnaire (AQ-CV), and Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results showed that: 1) The mental health of the adolescents could be divided into three latent classes: healthy group, sub-healthy group and disturbance group. 2) Labor values significantly influenced the latent categories of adolescent mental health. The higher the labor values score was, the lower the probability of sub-healthy and disturbance group. 3) Labor values significantly impacted the transition between latent categories of adolescent mental health. Under the influence of labor values, the class transition of adolescents’ mental health is more likely to develop vigorously in a healthy way.

Key words: adolescents, labor values, mental health, longitudinal study

摘要：

为考察青少年心理健康类型随时间变化的趋势，并探讨劳动价值观对其潜在类别转换的影响，基于心理健康双因素模型，采用劳动价值观问卷、抑郁−焦虑量表、攻击性问卷和生活满意度量表，对444名初中生进行3次间隔半年的追踪调查。结果发现：(1)青少年心理健康可分为健康组、亚健康组和困扰组三个潜在类别；(2)劳动价值观显著影响青少年心理健康潜在类别，在横断面上个体劳动价值观越积极，其归属亚健康和困扰组概率越低；(3)劳动价值观显著影响青少年心理健康潜在类别转变，在纵向时间维度上积极劳动价值观能使个体更易朝心理健康方向发展。
