Study weariness, self compassion and problem behavior were assessed through questionnaire survey.@*Results@#The scores of self compassion and externalizing behaviors in boys were higher than that of girls, while the scores of internalizing behaviors of girls were higher than that of boys ( t =2.13, 1.98, -2.05, P <0.05); the scores of study weariness and internalizing behaviors among left behind adolescents were higher than those of non left behind adolescents, while the scores of self compassion of nonleft behind adolescents were higher than those of left behind adolescents ( t =2.01, 2.08, -1.99, P <0.05). The scores of externalizing behaviors among only one child and junior high school students were higher than that of non only one children and high school students, while the scores of internalization problem behaviors of high school students were higher than that of junior high school students ( t =1.95, 2.03, -2.02, P <0.05).
