Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. Personality traits, difficult temperament, experience of stressful life events, and below-average intelligence are some of the psychological factors that have been associated with the development of mental health problems. People who are excessively critical or who have difficult temperaments may alienate others, receiving less social support for dealing with everyday sources of stress. Employment status does not increase a person's risk for developing a mental health disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 5
Explanation: 1. Psychological flexibility involves an attitude of acceptance of negative experiences, rather than attempting to avoid or control them, and engaging in behavior based on personal values. Two approaches can be used to increase psychological flexibility: acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness. ACT involves learning to detach oneself from negative experiences and focus on behaviors that support personal values. Mindfulness involves awareness of and attention to experiences as they occur in a nonjudgmental and accepting way. The development of coping skills helps with resiliency. Strategies to promote mental health in young children include support for effective parenting and child care programs outside the home.
