Mental factors (Sanskrit: चैतसिक, romanized: caitasika or chitta samskara चित्त संस्कार;[1] Pali: cetasika; Tibetan: སེམས་བྱུང sems byung), in Buddhism, are identified within the teachings of the Abhidhamma (Buddhist psychology). They are defined as aspects of the mind that apprehend the quality of an object, and that have the ability to color the mind. Within the Abhidhamma, the mental factors are categorized as formations (Sanskrit: samskara) concurrent with mind (Sanskrit: citta).[2][3][4] Alternate translations for mental factors include "mental states", "mental events", and "concomitants of consciousness".
