Abstract:

Good mental health is essential for teachers to perform their duties. Using positive and negative approaches, this study profiles the mental health of 928 elementary and secondary educators. Using established mental health scales for data collection, the analysis was conducted via the clustering method. Results reveal four distinct teacher mental health profiles: high mental health, high mental illness, low mental health, and low mental illness. Furthermore, findings suggest that teachers within the four profiles should be treated differently. For example, guidance and counseling may vary depending on the mental health profile. This study can be extended by testing variables associated with high and low mental health (psychological well-being and psychological distress) in future research.

Keywords: dual-factor models, profiling, teachers’ mental health, psychological distress, psychological well-being
