The article presents both theoretical and empirical results of a study on the possibilities of constructing a methodology for assessing the state of emotional health. Summarizing existing approaches to understanding the content of emotional health, it is argued that it can be characterized as a specific assessment of the subjective reflection of the functioning of a person’s emotional sphere in various life conditions, which can be experienced on a continuum from positive-comfortable to negative-discomfort states. The paper introduces a constructed methodology that relies on key specific features of emotional health, namely the balance between positive and negative emotions, a sense of well-being, a positive mood, the ability to feel and express one’s emotions and regulate them, maintain satisfaction with life, successfully adapt to changes in the surrounding reality, and have harmony in relationships with others. The latter has allowed the formulation of characteristics of emotional health, considering the degree of manifestation from minimal to maximum values with the possibility of rating from 1 to 5 points in the content of the constructed method of its assessment. The research has shown that the developed methodology is valid, reliable, and can be used in research and other purposes.
