摘要: 在我国,从学校到整个社会,都已经逐渐认识到心理健康的重要性,然而,关于心理健康的实质、定义和测量标准,尚存在争议。为此,本文拟在分析需要、情绪体验和幸福感与其关系的基础上探讨心理健康的内涵与外延。心理健康的内涵在于,人在社会文化环境的生活实践中,通过主客体的交互作用,以需要为动力源,以情绪情感为中介,以幸福为最佳状态,获得适应社会生活的效能,为社会和人类作贡献。心理健康的外延确指对象是,人们在生活实践中,主客体发生交互作用,生物特征为发展提供了可能性,社会环境将这种可能性在学习或工作、人际关系和自我管理等领域变成现实性,在适应社会生活各方面表现出不同的水平。

Abstract: In China,the importance of mental health has been increasingly recognized across educational institutions and the society. However,debates remain regarding the nature,definition,and measurement criteria of mental health. This paper aims to explore the connotation and denotation of mental health by analyzing its relationships with needs,emotional experiences,and well-being. The connotation of mental health lies in the agent-environment transactions,wherein individuals systematically construct and internalize societal contexts. Driven by needs,mediated through emotional processes,and culminating in optimal well-being,mental health facilitates individuals' adaptive functioning in social life and their contributions to society and humanity. The denotation of mental health specifies its manifestations:Through agent-environment transactions,biological traits provide foundational potential,while societal contexts actualize this potential in key domains (e.g.,vocational functioning,relational competence,and self-regulatory capacity). These processes result in measurable individual differences in psychosocial adaptation.

Key words: mental health, connotation, denotation, needs, emotion, affect, well-being
