An Analysis of the Relationship between Mental Health and Psychological Suzhi:from Perspective of Connotation and Structure

Abstract

Mental health and psychological suzhi are two frequently used concepts in mental health research and education in China in recent years.The ambiguous relationship between them is caused by the no distinct use,which seriously restricted the related issue's scientific understanding and the mental health research and education's positive development.The present study explores the essential relationship between mental health and psychological suzhi through the connotation and structure analysis.Results showed that mental health is a psychological state,while psychological suzhi is stable psychological quality or psychological characteristics.Both of them have an essentially distinction on connotation and structure,while there is a close but not necessarily corresponding relationship on function.Understanding the relationship between each other is not only the need of scientific research,but also the need of making mental health standard and psychological suzhi standard.
