Navigating Modernity: Factors Influencing the Psychological Well-being of Temuan Elderly in Selangor, Malaysia

Nor Hafizah Mohd Fizer

Abstract


Psychological well-being is an important aspect in achieving sustainability in life but it still under discussed among Orang Asli elderly. They are a vulnerable group that is easily effected due to the current modernisation that is changing the environmental and social landscape. This paper aims to examine the factors that affect the psychological well-being of the Temuan elderly in Selangor, specifically across eight villages: Desa Kemandol, Bukit Cheding, Pulau Kempas, Busut Baru, Bukit Tadom, Desa Temuan, Rasau Hulu, and Rasau Hilir. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data collection. A total of 261 Temuan elderly individuals were surveyed, and 38 of them participated in semi-structured interviews. The quantitative results indicate that the psychological well-being of those surveyed is cumulatively in good condition (85.0%), based on five key indicators: harmony (96.0%), happiness (96.0%), interdependence (85.4%), respect (82.4%), and acceptance (66.0%). Chi-square analysis further revealed that socio-demographic factors such as locality, marital status, and working status significantly influence the psychological well-being of the Temuan elderly. Concurrently, qualitative findings from the interviews highlight respondents' profound concerns regarding environmental changes, the increasing fragility of social relationships, and their health status. These insights are crucial for developing targeted interventions and policies that support the well-being of indigenous elderly populations as they adapt to modern challenges.
