A Study on Value Conflicts and Mental Health of Students at The Higher Secondary Level in Relation to Their Social Maturity

Abstract

Man is an integrated psychometric unit, whose behaviour is determined by both 
physical and mental factors. Every one today appears to be tenser than the past either due to 
lack of understanding and confidence among themselves or because of psychopathic morbidities 
like parent child relationship, loveless domestic life, broken families, global terrorism and 
narrow considerations. People can be both humanly pro-social and destructively anti-social as 
they are not necessarily aware of their values; some may even conflict with conscious values to 
sustainable development. A child is born in a home where he remains in the constant company of 
his mother in the formative years of his sustainable development infancy. The impressions and 
experiences which a child has in these formative years leave permanent and sustainable 
development to indelible impressions on his mind. sustainable development is at times minimal 
or immense, at times ridden or open and at times constructive or destructive, any time in making 
a choice at the cost of another, conflict is a perceived incompatibility of actions and goals that 
prevents, obstructs interfere, injuries or in some way makes another activity less likely or less 
effective. Health is a state of being hale, sound or whole some in body and mind. It means that 
both body and mind are working efficiently and harmoniously.
