Abstract

This study adopts a person-centered approach to examine how profiles of relationships with parents, teacher recognition, and peer relationships conjoin and influence the academic and psychological wellbeing of Chinese migrant adolescents. Drawing upon two-wave data from a nationally representative survey (N = 820; ages 12 to 16), three distinct profiles were identified: Optimally Connected (strong bonds across parents, teachers, and peers), School Risk (strong family ties but low teacher recognition and poor peer relationships), and Family Neutral (weaker family relationships but better school-based ties than the School Risk group). Profile comparisons indicated that adolescents in the two risk profiles had significantly lower psychological wellbeing and educational outcomes compared to Optimally Connected adolescents. Furthermore, the stability of the School Risk Profile was low (11%), with over 90% of adolescents transitioning to other profiles within a year. Other profiles were more stable (60% for the Family Neutral Profile and 78% for the Optimally Connected Profile), but the size of the Family Neutral Profile increased over time.

中国农民工青年在城市学校的心理和教育结果：一个以人为中心的跨时间变迁检验。

本研究采用以人为本的研究方法，探讨了中国流动青少年的父母关系、教师认可和同伴关系是如何相互关联并影响其学业和心理健康的。根据一项全国代表性调查（N = 820；年龄在12岁至16岁之间）的两波数据，确定了三种不同的特征：最佳连接（父母、老师和同龄人之间的联系很强），学校风险组（家庭关系很强，但教师认可程度较低，同龄人关系较差），家庭中立组（家庭关系较弱，但比学校风险组更好）。档案比较表明，与最佳连接青少年相比，两种风险档案中的青少年的心理健康和教育成果显著较低。此外，学校风险概况的稳定性较低（11%），超过90%的青少年在一年内转变为其他概况。其他配置文件更为稳定（家庭中立配置文件为60%，最佳连接配置文件为78%），但家庭中立配置文件的大小随着时间的推移而增加。
