“…Psychosocial factors, as defined in the Encyclopedia of Behavioural Medicine, are "influences that affect a person psychologically or socially. These are multidimensional constructs encompassing several domains such as mood status (anxiety, depression, distress, and positive affect), cognitive behavioral responses (satisfaction, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and locus of control), and social factors (socioeconomic status, education, employment, religion, ethnicity, family, physical attributes, locality, relationships with others, changes in personal roles, and status)," (Suzuki & Takei, 2013). World Health Organization (1981) has also positioned the definition of mental health in its report on the Social Dimensions of mental health which states that "Mental Health is the capacity of the individual, the group and the environment to interact with one another in ways that promote subjective well being, the optimal development and use of mental abilities (cognitive, affective and relational), the achievement of individual and collective goals consistent with justice and the attainment and preservation of conditions of fundamental equality".…”
