Self-esteem is the core ingredient of self-awareness system, which is the important factor of adolescent students'mental health, and the correlation between the development of self-esteem and adolescence students'mental health is consanguineous. Along with the rapid development of association test technology and the appearance of upsurge research on implicit social cognition, the research on implicit self-esteem being one of the front and hot spots. Research on the influence of adolescence students'self-esteem and the consistency with explicit self-esteem on mental health may has provided a new way to the tutorship of mental health and the intervention treatment of mental barrier, which has important theory significance and practice value.Based on the previous studies by others, we used the self-developed measure of Implicit Association Test (IAT), and other-developed measures which contained Self-Esteem Questionnaire, Self-Rating Depression Questionnaire, Children Multidimensional Scale Life Satisfaction Questionnaire and Affect Questionnaire, we adopted 201 students from junior high school, senior high school and college randomly, we mainly explored the development characteristics of adolescent students'implicit self-esteem, and the status of adolescent students'mental health(depression,subject well-being). Furthermore, we researched the influence of the consistency of implicit self-esteem and explicit self-esteem on adolescent students'mental health. Through this study, we obtained the following results:(1) The effect of implicit self-esteem is significant. Adolescence students had a implicit self-attitude for ego, and their self-implicit attitude is positive.(2) School age difference on the development of implicit self-esteem of adolescence students is significant. With the school age increasing, the development of implicit self-esteem in adolescence students descends.(3) School age differences on the mental health of adolescent students is significant. With the school age increasing, the depression in adolescence students ascends; subject well-being which experienced by the students in junior high school are higher than the subject well-being which experienced by the students in senior high school and college. (4) The mental health of adolescence students whose explicit self-esteem is higher than implicit self-esteem is higher than the health of adolescence students whose explicit self-esteem is lower than implicit self-esteem significantly.(5) In the group of explicit self-esteem is higher than implicit self-esteem, the consistent between explicit self-esteem and implicit self-esteem is correlate with adolescence students'mental health insignificantly, hereinto, the mental health of adolescence students which in the consistent group of explicit self-esteem and implicit self-esteem are higher than the mental health of adolescence students which in the inconsistent group of explicit self-esteem and implicit self-esteem insignificantly; In the group of explicit self-esteem is lower than implicit self-esteem, the consistent between explicit self-esteem and implicit self-esteem isn't correlate with adolescence students'mental health.
