Psychological well-being is a crucial aspect of overall health, encompassing emotional, social, and mental functioning. This study aims to examine differences in psychological well-being between individuals residing in rural and urban settings. A sample of 100 participants was selected, and the Psychological Well-being Scale by D. S. Sisodiya was used for assessment. The findings highlight significant variations influenced by environmental, social, and economic factors. The study contributes to understanding how living environments shape mental health and offers insights for policy and intervention strategies.
