Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Psychosocial health is defined as being mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually well. Emotionally balanced is another way of referring to emotionally well, though the term is not often used. Being socially astute is a characteristic that one may develop but is not necessary for social wellness. Mental stability is a component of psychosocial health and includes psychologic health. Being physically fit may influence psychosocial health, but individuals may be not physically fit but still in good psychosocial health. Many would argue that children are not spiritually and psychologically mature, yet may exhibit psychosocial health, so being spiritually and psychologically mature are not criteria for psychosocial health. The same is true with being emotionally balanced and socially astute.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Problems with self-concept may manifest in feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, and/or depression, among other issues. Decreased ability to maintain stable employment and to form attachments to other people results from many factors not limited to poor self-concept. The increased desire to form lasting relationships may be seen in individuals with healthy or unhealthy self-concepts.
