A lack of knowledge about mental health care can put stress on patients' families, communities, and countries. Few studies have examined mental health literacy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between mental health literacy, personality, learning outcomes, and well-being. Purposive sampling was employed, and the study included 126 youths, including 69 male and 57 female participants. The results showed that optimistic personality had a significant statistical influence on mental health literacy. Thus, mental health literacy also affected the subjective wellbeing and learning outcomes of youths. Moreover, the results showed that optimistic personality could enhance the academic achievements of youths through their mental health literacy but did not have a statistically significant influence on well-being.

心理健康的人能夠調適自己的生活，為自己所處的社群帶來貢獻，而不良心理健康的人卻會增加家庭、社區、國家的負擔。國內對於心理健康知能相關議題的研究卻很少，因此本研究目的主要是探討心理健康知能與解釋風格、學習成效與幸福感之間的關係。本研究透過問卷方式針對青年進行調查，有效樣本共有126位。研究結果顯示，解釋風格對於心理健康知能具有顯著統計上影響性。此外，心理健康知能也會影響到青年的主觀幸福感以及學習成效。本研究也發現，解釋風格會透過心理健康知能進一步影響青年的學習成效，但對於幸福感則不產生中介效果。因此本研究主要貢獻為確認解釋風格會影響心理健康知能概念，並對青年生活以及學業產生影響。
