Our level of psychological adjustment and emotional health is a function of the extent to which our

A) self is congruent with our environment.
B) instincts are repressed.
C) anxiety is defended against.
D) ideas accurately predict future events.

Our psychological adjustment and emotional health depend on the extent to which our self, including our values, beliefs, and goals, aligns with our environment, including our personal and social context. When there is congruence between our self and environment, we experience a sense of coherence, purpose, and meaning, which contributes to our well-being. When there is incongruence, we may experience distress, confusion, and dissatisfaction with life. While repression, defense mechanisms, and accurate predictions may influence our psychological adjustment, they are not the primary factors that determine our emotional health.
