Objective: To study the influence of pubertal timing on girls' depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems. Methods: 498 girls aged from 11 to 16 completed the Pubertal Development Scale, Depression Self Rating Scale for Chil-dren, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Middle School Students'Problem Behaviors Questionnaire. Results: ①Almost 67% girls were developed "on-time", and 33% were "early maturers" or "late maturers"; ②Differences in depression, anxi-ety state, and behavioral problems between age were significant, and 16-years-olds scored the highest. ③Girls in "early maturers" group scored higher in depression, anxiety trait, aggressive behavior and withdrawal than those in "late maturers" group. Conclusion: Pubertal timing is related to depression, anxiety, and behavioral problems, and early puberty is likely to have negative effects on girl's development.
