Abstract
This research investigates the connection between Saudi Arabian expats' feeling of
community and psychological suffering. An online survey using two validated tools the SCI 2 to evaluate community belonging and the DASS-8 to measure mental health symptoms was
used to gather data from 40 non-Saudi residents using a quantitative, cross-sectional
methodology. Stronger community links are linked to lower levels of stress, anxiety, and
depression, according to the results, which showed a moderately significant negative
association between psychological distress and feeling of community. In addition to
providing insightful information for mental health services, urban planning, and expatriate
support programs in culturally varied contexts, these results emphasize the significance of
social support and community integration in fostering expatriate well-being
