ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to confirm the validity of the complete mental health screening and explore its implications on intervention. For this purpose, this study classified four different mental health groups and examined how they differed in terms of four social emotional health domains and 12 psychological traits. The AMPQ-II, currently used, school-based mental health screener, and the SEHS-S were conducted. The self-report data of 847 middle school students were analyzed. Results indicated 78.4% were classified into a complete mental health group with 9.8% a vulnerable group, 6.5% a symptomatic, but content group, and 5.3% a troubled group. A complete mental health group was superior than both a vulnerable and a troubled group in all four domains (belief in self, belief in others. emotional competence, engaged living). A symptomatic, but content group was better than a troubled group in all domains. Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated each group need to improve some psychological traits to experience compete mental health and suggested effective intervention strategies for each group. Finally, with the limitation of a traditional mental health screening, the importance of a complete mental health screening and intervention was emphasized.
