The present study seeks to measure social health and its different aspects among the youths living in the city of Malaayer, and investigate its relationship with hapiness among the paticipants. It employs a mixed approach in social health and hapiness as its theoretical framework, drawn from the characteristics of social health in Keyes, Larson and Durkheim views, the approaches of Veenhoven, Argile, Dyner, and the theory of hedonism. It is a developmental research using correlational and analytical methods. The population of the study is comprised of four hundred 18-30-year-old youths living in Malaayer, selected based on random cluster sampling. According to the findings of the study, the extent of social health among the youth is evaluated as medium and upwards (40.44). The level of hapiness is also calculated as medium (44.26). The findings also indicate a correlation of moderate degree (24.0) between the variables of social hapiness and social health.
