The Preliminary Construction Of Middle School Students’ Self-expression Skills Model Research

Development of self-expression skills are important aspects of adolescents’ self-development, have great significance for their self-development and social adaptation. Middle-school period is a very important period of the individuals’ physical and mental development, especially at a critical stage of self-development,"self-centered" appears again, strengthen the students’ sense of independence, made them pursue adult sense.

Used SPSS22.0statistical software to analysis the information collected from interviews to test and verify the model’s dimensions, reliability and validity of the study, also drew on the quantitative statistical methods, including variance analysis, project analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis to test the model, and obtained the final structural model after modified.Study results showed that the construction of students’ self-expression skills model was well structured, including two dimensions:expression situations and expression manners. Among them, the situations included negative situation and positive situation, expression manners were divided into expressions of language, emotion and action.
