ABSTRACT

Mental Health is not a unitary dimension; data indicate two-dimensional model (viz., mental illness and (positive) mental health).Consistent attempt to explore structure of positive mental health (PMH)/ well-being (WB) has resulted in two major perspectives/approaches/components viz., Hedonic (SWB) and Eudaimonic (PWB, SoWB). The present study was conducted to develop an interview based assessment measure on positive mental health Cross-sectional mixed methods sequential exploratory design (QUAL quant) will be chosen for the present study. This design typically starts with qualitative data, to explore a phenomenon, and builds into a second/later, quantitative phase (Creswell, 2003). In the present study, the four objectives will be fulfilled through a series of 5 different phases, one after the other the study was conducted in district Bharatpur. Normality of the obtained distributions will be examined through the Kolmogov- Smirnov Z test. Correlational analyses will be done to establish convergent validity. Inter-rater consistency will be computed through intra-class coefficients^. That was significant at 0.05 and 0.01 level of significance.
