CRITERIA FOR POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH1. Attitude towards the individual self/self
acceptance Involves aspects related to self awareness,
acceptance, confidence, level of self-esteem; sense of personal identification in relation to role, groups, weaknesses, strengths, sex, vocation, other individuals, and so on
SELF CONCEPT- term given to the part of the self that lies within conscious awareness
Represents a collection of attitudes and ideas about self A product of life experience Encompasses all that a person perceives, knows and
holds to be true about his/her identity
4 ASPECTS OF SELF CONCEPT
A. Body image- physical dimension of self concept
It is the entire gamut of human expression, through the 5 senses as well as physical representations of movement expressed through dancing and gestures.
How to present ourselves to others physically affects how others perceive us socially and emotionally as well as intellectually.
4 ASPECTS OF SELF CONCEPTB. Personal identity- refers to the
psychological aspect of self concept. It refers to unconscious stratum, mental
data by which the individual is unaware. It refers to the perception of
internal/external reality. It is the inner world of the client encased
by feelings, thoughts and previous learning
4 ASPECTS OF SELF CONCEPT3. Self-esteem- this is the emotional
component of self-concept, described as the degree of value or worth ascribed to the self.
It is based on the abilities, attributes in interpersonal relationships.
It represents an individual’s perception of the worth attributed to him by significant others on the basis of his own presentation to the world.
When individuals do not feel as though there is much value to who they are as human beings or what they are able to contribute to others, they are said to be of low self-esteem. (suicidal patients)
4 ASPECTS OF SELF CONCEPT4. Role performance- refers to the expression of
self-concept, the totality of how one is known to others, one’s representation and public roles.
Self representation to the outside world expressed though professional and social roles assumed in the different situations such as family, the school and workplace. Self acceptance- a regard for one self with a realistic concept
of strengths and weaknesses. Self acceptance depends on self-concept. People tend to behave in ways which reinforce self-concept.
Self- awareness- involves noticing how the self feels, thinks, behaves and senses at any given time. Differs from INTROSPECTION- which involves evaluation or determining why the self reacts as it does. This is the first step in dealing with stress.
CRITERIA FOR POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH2. Growth and development, and self
actualization This refers to what a person does with his abilities
and potentialities that are important. A person’s involvement in outside interests and
relationships, concerns with an occupation, ideas, and his goals are considered.
3. Integrative capacity This refers to the balance of psychic forces- the ID,
EGO, SUPEREGO The ability to tolerate anxiety in stressful
situations. The core of this concept is the utilization of all
processes and attributes a person for unification of personal functioning.
CRITERIA FOR POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH4. Autonomous behavior
Refers to the ability to make one’s own decisions and react according to his own convictions regardless of outside environmental (physical and social) pressures and accept responsibilities for his actions
Another aspect is the ability to refuse to conform when to do so is a social expectation that conflicts with one’s value system
5. Perception of reality/balance of id and ego Deals with how the person perceives his
environment and other people as well as his reactions toward them.
CRITERIA FOR POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH
6. Mastery of one’s own environment/ tries to solve own problems It is the ability to adapt, adjust, and
behave appropriately in situations according to approved standards so that satisfactions are achieved.
It refers to the problem solving ability of a person with expressions of appropriate feeling tones. The use of appropriate defense mechanisms.

others Quadrant 3- HIDDEN
Qualities known only to oneself
Quadrant 4- UNKNOWN An empty quadrant to
symbolize qualities as yet undiscovered by oneself or others

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Appraise your own qualities by creating a list of them: values, attitudes, feelings, strengths, behaviors, accomplishments, needs, desires and thoughts.
2. Find out the perception of others by interviewing/asking them to identify qualities, both positive and negative they see in you. BE HONEST.
3. Compare lists and assign to appropriate quadrants
INTERPRETATION
If quadrant 1 is the longest list, this indicates that you are open to others; a smaller quadrant 1 means you share a little about yourself to others.
If quadrants 1 & 3 are both small, the person demonstrates little insight.
Any change in one quadrant is reflected by changes in other quadrants.
The goal is to work toward moving qualities from quadrants 2,3,4 into quadrant 1. Doing so indicates that you are gaining self-knowledge and awareness.
ASSIGNMENT
Write your output in a piece of paper, cartolina, etc.
Write your reflections about your Johari’s window
