A Study on Mental and Psychological Health of Teachers at Secondary Level Based on Gender

Abstract

In terms of psychological health, the respondent's internal experiences are taken into account. Psychological well-being is not assessed using an external frame of reference. It is true that many mental health criteria (such as maturity, autonomy realism) are determined by researchers from the outside. It is based on the perception of the individual that psychological well-being can be measured. Psychiatric well-being pertains primarily to the beliefs an individual holds about himself or herself. It is important to realize that psychological well-being entails more than just momentary moods, but long-term conditions as well. Researchers are interested in a person's mood over time instead of the moods that fluctuate with new events. Often, happiness in the present may not be correlated with psychological well-being in the long run. Thus, importance is in  enduring feelings of well-being, not in fleeting emotions. Accordingly, the researcher studied the psychological well-being of secondary teachers using several aspects, including maturity, autonomy and realism.
