A person-centered approach was used to identify the profiles of symptoms of psychological ill-being among Finnish upper secondary education students (N = 2889); to examine whether gender and educational track (i.e., academic or vocational) are associated with these profiles; and to investigate the role of profiles in school dropout intentions. Using latent profile analysis, one asymptomatic profile (normative, 79.2%) and three symptomatic profiles (internalizing symptoms, 9.1%; externalizing symptoms, 9.1%; and comorbid symptoms, 2.6%) were identified. Boys in the vocational track were overrepresented in the externalizing-symptoms profile, whereas girls in both tracks were overrepresented in the internalizing-symptoms profile. Students in the three symptomatic profiles showed higher dropout intentions than those in the normative profile. Altogether, this study indicated that up to every fifth student experiences symptoms of psychological ill-being, and those exhibiting these symptoms might be at greater risk of dropping out of school than their peers.

以人为中心的方法被用来确定芬兰高中学生心理不适症状的特征（N = 2889）; 检查性别和学历（即学历或职业）是否与这些资料相关联；并调查个人资料在辍学意愿中的作用。使用潜在特征分析，可以识别出一种无症状特征（规范性79.2％）和三种症状特征（内在症状为9.1％；外在症状为9.1％；合并症为2.6％）。在职业化轨道中，男孩在外在症状特征中的代表过多，而在两个轨道中的女孩在内化症状特征中的代表过多。三种症状型的学生比标准型的学生表现出更高的辍学意愿。总而言之，这项研究表明，每五分之一的学生都会遇到心理不适症状，
