Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the social health of students in the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences at Kabul University. The study employed a descriptive-analytical method with a random sample of 200 students (from a population of 606). Data were collected using the "Keyes" Social Health Questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS software, version 26. The results indicated that the students' level of social health was moderate. Among the components, social integration had a significant relationship with social health, whereas social acceptance and social flourishing did not show such a relationship. Additionally, social health differed significantly according to age. These findings emphasize the need for special attention to strengthening components such as social flourishing to improve students' social health. Accordingly, it is recommended that the university facilitate the development of these components by designing educational programs, counseling services, and participatory activities.
