mental health as above normal, epitomized by a DSM-IV's Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) score of over 80; mental health as the presence of multiple human strengths rather than the absence of weaknesses; mental health conceptualized as maturity; mental health as the dominance of positive emotions; mental health as high socio-emotional intelligence; mental health as subjective well-being; mental health as resilience. Safeguards for the study of mental health are suggested, including the need to define mental health in terms that are culturally sensitive and inclusive, and the need to empirically and longitudinally validate criteria for mental health.
心理健康高于正常水平，以 DSM-IV 功能总体评估（GAF）得分超过 80 分为代表；心理健康表现为多种人类优势，而不是没有弱点；心理健康被概念化为成熟；心理健康表现为积极情绪占主导地位；心理健康表现为高社会情感智力；心理健康表现为主观幸福感；心理健康表现为韧性。本文还提出了研究心理健康的保障措施，包括需要根据文化敏感性和包容性来定义心理健康，并需要对心理健康标准进行实证和纵向验证。
