Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a pivotal stage vulnerable to mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Although self-acceptance and social comparison are known to affect adolescent mental health, their interactive and moderating roles are not fully understood.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of self-acceptance, social comparison and attributional style in predicting these mental health outcomes among adolescents in clinical settings.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 242 adolescents. Participants completed measures assessing self-acceptance, social comparison, attributional style and mental health outcomes (depression and anxiety). Mediation models and multi-group analysis were used to examine the relationships among these variables.
RESULTS: Our findings demonstrated a significant relationship between self-acceptance, social comparison, depression and anxiety (rs = 0.32-0.88). Specifically, lower self-acceptance and higher social comparison were associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety. Additionally, individuals with external attributional tendencies reported higher depression (Cohen\'s d = 0.61) and anxiety (d = 0.58) compared with those with internal tendencies. Mediation modelling showed that social comparison is a mediator between self-acceptance and depression (effect size -0.04, 95% CI -0.08 to -0.01) and anxiety (effect size -0.06, 95% CI -0.10 to -0.02). Crucially, multi-group analysis showed that the impact of social comparison on mental health outcomes varied significantly based on attributional style.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings underscore the importance of considering self-acceptance, social comparison and attributional style in understanding and addressing mental health challenges during adolescence. This could inform the development of targeted interventions to promote mental health and well-being among adolescents. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings in diverse populations and to explore the underlying mechanisms in greater detail.

摘要：
背景：青春期是容易出现焦虑和抑郁等心理健康问题的关键阶段。尽管已知自我接纳和社会比较会影响青少年的心理健康，他们的互动和调节作用还没有得到充分理解。
目的：探讨自我接纳的作用，社会比较和归因方式在临床环境中预测青少年的这些心理健康结果。
方法：对242名青少年样本进行了横断面研究。参与者完成了评估自我接受度的措施，社会比较,归因方式和心理健康结果(抑郁和焦虑)。使用中介模型和多组分析来检验这些变量之间的关系。
结果：我们的研究结果表明，社会比较,抑郁和焦虑(rs=0.32-0.88)。具体来说,较低的自我接受度和较高的社会比较与较高的抑郁和焦虑水平相关.此外,与具有内部归因倾向的个体相比，具有外部归因倾向的个体报告了更高的抑郁(Cohen'sd=0.61)和焦虑(d=0.58)。中介模型显示，社会比较是自我接纳与抑郁（效应大小-0.04，95％CI-0.08至-0.01）和焦虑（效应大小-0.06，95％CI-0.10至-0.02）之间的中介。至关重要的是，多群体分析表明，社会比较对心理健康结果的影响因归因方式而异。
结论：这些发现强调了考虑自我接受的重要性，了解和解决青春期心理健康挑战的社会比较和归因方式。这可以为制定有针对性的干预措施提供信息，以促进青少年的心理健康和福祉。然而,需要进一步的研究来在不同人群中证实这些发现,并更详细地探索潜在的机制.
