title: Background and mental health status of students who are "well-behaved" in their teacher's perspective.
abstract: Two hundred and eighty-five students were considered well-behaved, and two hundred thirty-seven students as control group were assessed for their mental health background and mental status. The quality of well-behaved students' parents regarding their ability in bringing up their children was better than that of parents of the control group. Well-behaved students have a higher I.Q. than the control group. They possessed sociable extraversive stable personalities. Regarding their expressions for social acceptance, they needed control people showing them acceptance and wanted to be supervised by others. However, the well-behaved and the students of the control group had no significant signs of difference in expressing love and concern towards oneself. Regarding mental health of the well-behaved, they had normal level of stress and average level of anxiety. The mental health of both groups, for example, stress and anxiety from social-adjustment and being evaluated was not different. Thus, teachers have accurate judgement in distinguishing the well-behaved from the control students. The mental health status of both groups of students was not different. Consequently, the teachers have no worries towards behaviour and mental health status of well-behaved. They can concentrate more on students with problems and behavioural deviations.
