Abstract:
This study attempted to ascertain a specific aspect of Philippine educators’ mental health which is positive mindset. 198 educators volunteered to be the respondents of this study through convenience sampling. The respondents were from both private and public educational institutions and handled various academic levels which included kindergarten, elementary, high school, senior high and college. The Positive Mindset Index (PMI), which measures motivation, optimism, emotional stability, happiness, confidence, and control, was administered on the respondents. The findings revealed that the respondents were happy, confident, in control, stable, motivated and optimistic. However, when grouped according to marital status, the married respondents had significantly higher PMI scores than the single respondents. Significant low positive relationships between the respondents’ PMI scores and their age and years of teaching were also established. When grouped according to educational attainment, the analysis of variance indicated a significant difference in the respondents’ PMI scores.
