After the determination of data normalcy distribution by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, 0065 ploratory factorial analysis questionnaire was done. The KMO index value was found to be 0/751, confirming sufficiency of sampling. The value obtained for the Bartlett's Sphercity Test was smaller than 0/05, indicating it is significant for a factorial analysis.The factorial analysis having been done by using Varimax rotation with Kaiser Normalization, four factors with eigenvalue higher than one were extracted and the extracted common value, based on a factorial analysis, was found to be over 0/5 for all questions, suggesting there was no need for eliminating any of the questions in then questionnaire. The first factor indicates 13.021%, the second factor 7.053%, the third factor 5.713% and the fourth one 5.032% of the research data variances. The findings obtained from Pearson Correlation Coefficient Test indicated that the Social Capital Questionnaireand its subscales were found to be directly and positively correlated with the variable of mental well-being.
