Abstract Abstract. Individuals aged 45 to 60 have several social and psychological obstacles that may diminish their sense of belonging, social support, and overall life happiness. This descriptive quantitative study assessed the social connectedness, perceived social support, and life satisfaction among 60 adults residing in Choolai, an urban locality in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, using non-probability convenience sampling. The Social Connectedness Scale (SCS), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire-11 (LISAT-11) were used to gather data. Results indicated that 68.33% of participants exhibited moderate social connectedness, whereas 36.67% reported low and moderate levels of social support, respectively. Nearly 71.67% exhibited low life satisfaction. Pearson correlation analysis confirmed statistically significant positive moderate correlations among all three variables (r = 0.42–0.47, p = 0.01). Chi-square tests revealed significant correlations between the study variables and sociodemographic factors, such as education, employment status, family structure, and monthly income. The study highlights the necessity for focused community-based initiatives to bolster social connectivity and increase psychosocial well-being in metropolitan adult populations.
Keywords social connectedness; social support; life satisfaction; adults; urban Chennai; descriptive study.
