This computer-adaptive assessment was designed by Jumoke I. Oladele (PhD) as the product of funded research by the Carnegie Corporation of New York (administered by Future Africa, University of Pretoria). It uses items developed and validated within a transdisciplinary framework (TDA TEAM) and in line with the World Health Organization's measure of mental health, supported by an extensive literature review for assessing students' mental well-being as a non-illness intervention.
You will be asked a series of questions under eight sub-scales listed below:
Sub-scale 1 (Belief system): The belief system of a person's opinion about right and wrong and what is true and false encourages selflessness, self-discipline, self-awareness, and everyday cooperative behaviour toward other people.
Sub-scale 2 (Coping with everyday stress): Considerable stress is required for normal functioning. Coping usually involves adjusting to or tolerating adverse events or realities while maintaining a Healthy, positive self-image and emotional balance.
Sub-scale 3 (Emotional stability): Emotional stability means predictability and consistency in emotional reactions without rapid mood changes, even under stressful circumstances, challenges, and threats.
Sub-scale 4 (Healthy living): Healthy Living means maintaining a healthy lifestyle and introducing habits that improve your health, such as regular exercise, a balanced, nutritious diet, adequate sleep and relaxation, abstaining from smoking, and taking nonessential drugs.
Sub-scale 5 (Realising potential}: Realising potential means performing to the utmost of one's abilities and finding as much success as possible.
Sub-scale 6 (School-life balance): School-life balance means putting enough effort into your academic work while enjoying the social, sporting, and cultural aspects of being a student.
Sub-scale 7 (Social interaction): Social Interaction means the mutual or reciprocal influence, resulting in the modification of behaviour, exerted through social contact and communication, which, in turn, are established by inter-stimulation and response from colleagues.
Sub-scale 8 (Studying productively): Studying productively means the number of positive and beneficial outcomes a student can produce with the different kinds of input from their environment that are put into their academics.
Instructions
You must carefully scale each item from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree and choose the option that best suits you must carefully scale each item.
Remember that there is no correct or incorrect response, and you will receive your results at the end of the assessment.
Please answer all the questions honestly and about how you currently perceive yourself, not how you would like to see yourself in the future, to get the most out of this evaluation. Usually, the best answer to a question is the one that comes to you naturally.
I hope this assessment helps you gain new insight into the state of your mental well-being and get support if needed.
