Abstract

Keeping positive mental health is essential, as it promotes overall wellness, strengthens endurance, nurtures significant relationships, and provides a framework for personal as well as professional fulfilment. The present research investigates the complex associations between prosocial behavior, aggression, and positive mental health in a range of social conditions with the aim of discovering subtle variations influenced by age groups, gender, and the type of residence. In this study, 405 participants were recruited using multi-stage random sampling. Descriptive and correlation statistical analyses are evaluated to discover gender, age, and residence-based distinct groups that varied in prosocial behavior, aggression and positive mental health. Descriptive statistics reveal distinct differences in verbal aggression, hostility, and prosocial behavior based on gender, residence, and age groups. While certain aggressive behaviors showed no correlation with positive mental health, the overall patterns highlight significant relationships between prosocial behavior, aggression, and mental well-being across diverse factors. This research presents an in-depth viewpoint on the complex interrelationships influencing positive mental health, providing a significant understanding of the discipline through its comprehensive inquiry and extensive evaluation.
