Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 02
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the relationship between citizenship values (national loyalty, civic participation, and respect for diversity) and both psychological well-being and community belonging among Omani youth. The study was conducted during the 2023/2024 academic year, targeting Omani youth across various governorates. The sample consisted of 450 young participants (240 males and 210 females) selected using a convenience sampling method. Data was collected through an electronic questionnaire distributed via WhatsApp, which included three scales measuring citizenship values, psychological well-being, and community belonging. The correlation analysis revealed a strong, statistically significant positive relationship between citizenship values and psychological well-being (r = 0.62, p < 0.001) as well as community belonging (r = 0.62, p < 0.001). Regression analysis indicated that national loyalty had the greatest impact on psychological well-being (β = 0.46, p < 0.001) and community belonging (β = 0.42, p < 0.001), followed by civic participation and respect for diversity to varying degrees. The results also showed statistically significant gender differences in the relationship between citizenship values and psychological well-being, favoring females, while no significant differences were found in community belonging. The study recommends enhancing citizenship values through educational curricula and community programs and providing initiatives to support mental health and civic engagement. This study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between citizenship values and the psychological and social well-being of Omani youth, supporting national policies to achieve Oman Vision 2040.
