This study explores the interconnections between motivational aspects of personality and psychological well-being. The study investigates the impact of the motivation in terms of Panchakoshas, namely Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya, and Anandamaya Kosha, on individuals’ mental wellbeing. Through a sample of 47 participants from diverse professions, correlations were established between these cognitive aspects and indicators of psychological well-being. The findings highlight the significant impact of cognitive aspects on mental health conditions, emphasizing the intricate relationship between emotional states, cognitive processes, and somatic symptoms. Furthermore, the research emphasizes how intellect and emotional abilities play a crucial role in alleviating issues related to social dysfunction. These results provide valuable insights for developing targeted interventions to enhance mental well-being and reduce symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, depression, and social dysfunction.Metrics
