ABSTRACT
Objective: To develop Attributional Style Questionnaire for Adolescents (ASQA) and explore the correlation between attributional style and mental health in adolescents. Method: ASQA was drawn up through referring to Peterson's method. 534 students were measured by ASQA, SSDA, SAS and MMOCI. Results: The goodness of fit indices of three-factor model in ASQA as follows: x2/df = 511.69/188, GFI = 0.91, AGFI = 0.89, NNFI = 0.91, CFI = 0.92, IFI = 0.92. Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.82. Spearman - Brown split - half reliability was 0.84. Stable and global variables entered the equations of depression, anxiety, obaession and compulsion in multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion:ASQA had good reliability and construct validity. Adolescents were in low level of mental health when they attributed negative events to stable and global causes.
