According to Warr, what are the 5 major components of psychological health ? 1.Affective well-being. Warr and Clapperton (2010) stipulated that psychological well-being has two dimensions: pleasure and activation (as shown in Figure 11-1). The combination of the pleasure and activation dimensions results in the following quadrants: Enthusiasm, Comfort, Anxiety, and Depression.

According to Warr, what are the 5 major components of psychological health ? 3. __, which is the freedom to choose the path of one's own behavior. Psychologically healthy people have the capacity to express their values and preferences when choosing their actions. This contrasts sharply with the feeling of being helpless when one is confronted with life's difficulties. The contribution of autonomy to psychological health appears to be given greater importance in (Eastern/Western__?) than in (Eastern/Western__?) cultures.

According to Warr, what are the 5 major components of psychological health ? 4. __. A psychologically healthy person is always striving to achieve a more desirable outcome. It is this sense of striving, being focused, and having a strong goal orientation that invigorates people to channel their energies. In striving to achieve personal goals, one may face stressful situations, and indeed one may create them by pursuing difficult challenges. Low levels of aspiration are associated with a sense of resignation and acceptance of one's current conditions, no matter how unsatisfying they may be.

According to Warr, what are the 5 major components of psychological health ? 5. __ __. The capstone dimension of psychological health is the most difficult to define and is most unlike the other four. Warr stated that it concerns "The person as a whole. People who are mentally healthy exhibit several forms of balance, harmony, and inner relatedness" (p. 59). Integrated functioning is the hallmark of psychologically healthy people in that they have found a way to balance the two. Integrated functioning is the most difficult goal to achieve as our lives are continuously pushed and pulled in competing directions.

As Luthans (2002) noted, "The aim of __ __ is to shift the emphasis away from what is wrong with people to what is right with people—to focus on strengths (as opposed to weaknesses), to be interested in resilience (as opposed to vulnerability), and to be concerned with enhancing and developing wellness, prosper-ity and the good life (as opposed to the remediation of pathology)" (p. 697).

Mental Health of the Industrial Worker was published in Kornhauser in the 1965 and shaped workplace health psychology. As Barling and Griffiths (2003) noted, by the end of the 20th century workplace health psychology was em-bracing the very opposite beliefs to those proposed by scientific management at the start of the 20th century. In short, it took approximately one hundred years to reach the conclusion that a productive workforce depends on (and thus is not independent of) the health of the workforce.

In short, it took approximately one hundred years to reach the conclusion that a productive workforce depends on (and thus is not independent of) the health of the workforce. As of 2017, the International Labour Organization reported that 2.3 million workers worldwide die annually (one every 15 seconds!) from workplace injuries and illnesses. 317 million work-related accidents occur on the job annually (153 every 15 seconds!) In the 1970's, laws were passed to reduce workplace accidents and illnesses. By the end of the 20th century I/O psychology recognized the need to expand its focus from reducing accidents and illnesses to promoting workplace psychological health.
Psychological capital is a personal resource consisting of hope, optimism, self-efficacy(confidence in being able to do something), and resilience that impacts one's psychological health and helps combat occupational stress. Avey et al. (2009) found that psychological capital was related to fewer job stress symptoms in a sample of 416 working adults. Furthermore, in a meta-analysis of the literature, Avey et al. (2011) demonstrated that psychological capital is related to heightened psychological well-being, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviors, and job performance as well as lower anxiety and job stress.

The idea of psychological health, as opposed to psychological illness, comes from the push within the field of psychology to focus on the (positive/negative?) parts of human nature and behavior.
The idea of psychological health, as opposed to psychological illness, comes from the push within the field of psychology to focus on the positive parts of human nature and behavior. According to Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi (2000), for the past 60 years psychology has become a science largely about healing and fixing what is broken. For example, clinical psychologists have been primarily interested in mental illness and social psychologists have focused their attention toward such topics as what makes good people do bad things and why people often fail to help others. Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi proposed that psychologists should come to understand what makes life worth living, not just how to cope with and heal from negative life events.

Warr noted the word __ is typically avoided by psychologists in their professional lives. Instead, terms like well-being or positive affect are typically used. Warr cited a study that surveyed college students in 47 countries. Of all personal values, including wealth, health, and love, happiness was overwhelmingly rated the most important. Accordingly, Warr asserted that research on people in work organizations would have greater impact on a wider population if it were presented in terms of happiness or unhappiness, rather than the more technical terms frequently used by scientist.

__ __ __ is a broad-based concept that refers to the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of employees in relation to the conduct of their work. The discipline came as a result of mid-20th century mental fatigue of doing repetitive actions. It was the midpoint between Industrial psych (work) and counseling psych (health).
