Various factors have been identified which facilitate the development of positive health. Health is a state of complete
physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Positive health
comprises the following constructs: “a healthy body, high quality of personal relationships, a sense of purpose in life
self-regard, mastery of life’s tasks and resilience to stress, trauma, and change”. Specifically, factors that act as stress
buffers and facilitate positive health are diet, exercise, positive attitude, positive thinking, and social support. It is
essential to have a healthy lifestyle for handling stress and effective coping. Assertiveness, time management, rational
thinking, improving relationships, self-care, and overcoming unhelpful habits are life skills that help us to meet life's
challenges. Positive health and well-being come through a balanced diet, exercise, positive attitude, positive optimistic
thinking, and social support. There is also a need for overall harmonious conditions in society. We must avoid taking
unhealthy escape routes of smoking, alcohol, drugs, and other harmful behaviors.

Intelligence is one of the most talked-about subjects in psychology, there is no standard definition of what exactly
constitutes intelligence. Some researchers have suggested that intelligence is a single, general ability. Others believe
that intelligence encompasses a range of aptitudes, skills, and talents. Intelligence has been a controversial topic
throughout psychology's history. Despite the substantial interest in the subject, there is still considerable disagreement
about what components make up intelligence. In addition to questions of exactly how to define intelligence, the debate
continues today about whether accurate measurements are even possible. At various points throughout recent history,
researchers have proposed some different definitions of intelligence. While these definitions can vary considerably
from one theorist to the next, current conceptualizations tend to suggest that intelligence is the ability to learn from
experience, recognize problems, and solve problems. Intelligence is the global capacity to understand the world, think
rationally, and use available resources effectively when faced with challenges. There are many theories of intelligence
some of which are: Uni factor theory, two-factor theory, theory of primary mental abilities, hierarchical model of
intelligence, structure of intellect model, theory of multiple intelligence, triarchic theory of intelligence, and PASS
model of intelligence.
32. What are the different dimensions of the structure of the intellect model? (1)
33. Which approach considers intelligence as an aggregate of abilities? explain it in detail. (2)
