Self-respect is a kind of appraisal mode that individual how to look at himself. Narcissism is marked by signify infatuation and obsession with one's self to the exclusion of all others. This paper discusses the feature of attachment relation, self-concept, self-esteem and narcissism in the adolescent period, and the adolescent attachment impact on them. This paper uses quantitative methods and the subject is 372 students in grade two and grade three of junior middle school, and grade one and grade two of senior middle school. The main results are as follows:1. There is no difference between father attachment and mother attachment in gender. Male students tend to more alienated with their mother's emotional bond than female students. Seeing from the grade, parental attachment varies from ascending to decline, however, companion attachment is always steady, which is in accordance with adolescence'mental development feature.2. Differences are found in gender on appearance, physique and mathematics of self-concept. Students'self honesty of grade two of senior middle school is lower than that of grade one. Significant correlation ship exits between attachment relationships and self-concept of adolescence. In further regression analysis, we found communication with mother can predict adolescence's self appearance and self lingua; alienation with father can predict self physique. Father attachment can predict general self-concept at the greatest extent than mother attachment.3. There is no difference between female and male students in self-esteem. Their self-esteem has increasingly ascended with their grade growing. Significant correlation ship exits between attachment relationships and self-esteem of middle school students. In the further regression analysis, we found alienation factor in attachment relationship make contributions to self esteem. The score of mother and companion alienation in students is higher the score of self-esteem is lower.4. There is also no disparity between male and female students in narcissism, but adolescence's self content and superiority have difference in grade, which is ascending from grade two of junior middle school to grade one of senior middle school, until approaching to descent. Father attachment can't predict narcissism, but alienation with mother has an important impact on adolescence's authority, self-content, and superiority. Adolescences who are more close to their mother have stronger feelings of authority, self content and superiority. Mother alienation and companion alienation are together predicting authority and self-content, mother alienation and companion communication make great contributions to superiority.
