This article explores the incidence of psychosocial well-being within Lokaleng; a rural community located in the North West province of South Africa. While the community is unique, it shares similarities with many other rural communities in South Africa, such as being deprived of various resources and being impoverished, indicating a need to explore the incidence of psychosocial well-being in this community as there has been no research on this phenomenon in this community specifically. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed. A purposive sample of adult community members (n = 189) completed a battery of validated questionnaires and data were analyzed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software package. The results are indicative that the sample experienced lower levels of psychosocial well-being, which supports similar findings of other South African studies that rural communities tend to report lower levels of psychosocial well-being.
本文探讨了南非西北省洛卡伦（Lokaleng）农村社区的社会心理幸福感发生率。虽然该社区具有独特性，但与南非许多其他农村社区一样，它也面临着各种资源匮乏和贫困的问题，这表明需要探索该社区的社会心理幸福感发生率，因为目前还没有针对该社区这一现象的研究。本研究采用了定量、横断设计。通过目的抽样的方法选取了 189 名成年社区成员作为样本，完成了一系列经过验证的问卷，并使用 IBM SPSS Statistics 26 软件包对数据进行了分析。结果表明，该样本的社会心理幸福感水平较低，这与其他南非研究的类似发现一致，即农村社区往往报告较低的社会心理幸福感水平。
