| + | === Maladjustment === |
| + | In a reverse situation to adjustment, the absence of well-being would mean that the individual makes maladjustive responses to the environment so that his needs are not satisfied, and when faced with problem solving situations, conflicts and frustrations, he reacts in what is often termed as ego-defensive ways which hardly enable him to cope successfully with his problems. He experiences unhappiness, anxiety, frustration, depression and so on which are all indicative of absence of psycho-social well-being. Instead of being overwhelmed by intensive anxiety which is debilitating and saps the available energy of the individual so that he is unable to solve the problems, a healthy, adjusted and normal person bounces back from those frustrations, disappointments and disabling states, and continues on his path of goal-oriented behaviour. To use an analogy, the individual is like gold which when put into fire comes out shining and more brilliant.<ref name=":4" /> |

| + | === Homeostasis or being balanced === |
| + | In its original form, the term homeostasis connotes internal form of self-regulation for maintaining an internal bodily balance or adjustment. From this internal self-regulatory mechanism, the connotation of homeostasis has been expanded to comprise the process of psychological and even social adjustment. |
