Tiivistelmä	The Positive Mental Health Scale (PMHS) is a brief instrument developed to measure mental well-being by assessing the presence of positive mental health dimensions rather than the absence of disorder. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, the PMHS operationalizes mental health as an active state characterized by personal strengths, resilience, coping capacity, and positive functioning. It represents a paradigm shift toward strength-based mental health assessment, viewing mental health and mental illness as distinct continua rather than opposite ends of a single spectrum.	The PERMA-Profiler is a 23-item multidimensional measure of flourishing developed by Butler and Kern in 2016 based on Seligman's PERMA model of positive psychology. It assesses five core domains of human flourishing—Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment—plus Negative Emotion and Loneliness as contextual factors. This instrument bridges the theoretical PERMA framework with practical measurement, enabling comprehensive assessment of psychological well-being across multiple life dimensions.
