PDHPE Core 1 Revision Exam Question
All And Complete Answers.
Definition of Health - Answer WHO developed a holistic definition of health to be "A complete state of
physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely just the absence of disease or infirmity"
This has been adopted as the holistic view of health.
Dimensions of Health - Answer Physical, Social, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual.
*Physical Health* - is the wellness of the body (eg. nutrition, strength)
*Social Health* - is the way you interact with others (eg. relationships, communication)
*Emotional Health* - is the ability to cope with emotions (eg. self-esteem, anger, stress)
*Mental Health* - is the wellness of the mind (eg. function of the mind, anxiety)
*Spiritual Health* - is having a deep sense of purpose in life (eg. goals, morals, faith, beliefs)
Relative & Dynamic Nature of Health - Answer The *relative* nature of health - refers to how we judge
our health compared to other points in our life (eg. past BMI)
The *dynamic* nature of health - refers to the constant change that occurs in our level of health (eg.
going to sleep fine, and waking up with a runny nose and sore throat)
Perceptions of their Health - Answer The views that individuals have of their own health will affect
their behaviours and attitudes
, Perceptions of Health of Others - Answer The factors affecting a persons view of health are: age,
gender, education, family, friends, socioeconomic status and lifestyle
Age - a person who is older will view health differently to that of a person who is younger. (eg. The older
person could be naive to new medicine and physical therapy techniques)
Gender - The gender gap could obscure elements of perceptions of health (a female have the view that a
skinnier body is better *social construct*, however a male could view a more muscularly big and bulky
body as a good thing as it expresses physical fitness)
Implications of Different Perceptions of Health - Answer The way people view and comment on others
health contributes to how "healthy" someone is, and then, the behaviours someone will participate in.
(eg. crossing the road to avoid a person who looks homeless)
Viewing health holistically, allows us to recognise the various factors which effect health.
Perceptions of Health as a Social Construct - Answer *Health* as a *Social construct* - a concept that
recognises that an individuals perception of their health is not influenced solely by their own choices,
but is constructed by society. Therefore responsibility for the "correct" perception of health falls upon
the society, not the individual
The Impact of Media & Family on Perceptions of Health of Individuals - Answer The Media, is
portraying false images and "highlight" reels of individuals lives, which can affect another individuals
mental health, self-esteem.
Family, sending positive encouragement about healthy eating or body comments will make an individual
more inclined to continue in healthy eating habits.
The reverse (negative encouragement) is therefore a negative affect.
Health Behaviours of Young People - Answer Young people, are now starting to take control of their
health by taking previous negative trends among young people and preventing them with protective
strategies.
