individual's mental health?
a) not needing others for companionship
b) the ability to effectively manage stress
c) a family history of mental illness
d) striving for total self-reliance
ans: b.
feedback:
individual factors influencing mental health include biologic makeup, autonomy, independence,
self-esteem, capacity for growth, vitality, ability to find meaning in life, emotional resilience or
hardiness, sense of belonging, reality orientation, and coping or stress management abilities.
interpersonal factors such as intimacy and a balance of separateness and connectedness are
both needed for good mental health, and therefore a healthy person would need others for
companionship. a family history of mental illness could relate to the biologic makeup of an
individual, which may have a negative impact on an individual's mental health, as well as a
negative impact on an individual's interpersonal and socialñcultural factors of health. total self-
reliance is not possible, and a positive social/cultural factor is access to adequate resources.
2. which of the following statements about mental illness are true? select all that apply.
a) mental illness can cause significant distress, impaired functioning, or both.
b) mental illness is only due to social/cultural factors.
c) social/cultural factors that relate to mental illness include excessive dependency on or
withdrawal from relationships.
, d) individuals suffering from mental illness are usually able to cope effectively with daily
life.
e) individuals suffering from mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with
relationships and self.

mental illness may experience dissatisfaction with relationships and self.
3. which of the following are true regarding mental health and mental illness?
a) behavior that may be viewed as acceptable in one culture is always unacceptable in
other cultures.
b) it is easy to determine if a person is mentally healthy or mentally ill.
c) in most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-
concept, and emotional stability.
d) persons who engage in fantasies are mentally ill.
ans: c
feedback:
what one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may see
that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. mental health and mental illness are difficult to define
precisely. in most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social wellness
evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective behavior and coping, positive self-
concept, and emotional stability. persons who engage in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but
the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy is an individual factor that may contribute to
mental illness.
