The next motivation was the desire to become a better person for family or friends. This was voiced by 75.8% of female respondents and 72.9% of male respondents.
Others maintain mental health to avoid the risk of physical health problems due to stress; to gain higher quality life experiences; and to improve focus at work or in studies.
Some other respondents strive to maintain mental health because they have experienced mental health problems in the past and do not want a recurrence, with proportions as shown in the graph.
This survey involved 1,212 respondents spread across various regions of Indonesia, comprising 928 female respondents and 284 male respondents.
Data collection was conducted from April 29 to May 5, 2025, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) with a margin of error of approximately 2.81% and a 95% confidence level.
