The present study investigated the psycho-demographic factors influencing social well-being among mobile police force in Kwara State, Nigeria. Method: The study adopted a survey method utilizing an ex-post-facto design. The purposive sampling technique was used to sample 200 mobile police officers (152 males and 48 females). They completed a questionnaire pack which included-the Post-Deployment Readjustment Inventory Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and Mental Health Continuum of Social Well-being-Short Form. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, ANOVA and Multiple Regression. Results: Findings showed that emotion regulation has a positive relationship with social well-being. Also, age, emotion regulations and post-deployment stress as a whole significantly predicted social well-being among the sampled participants. However, emotion regulation independently predicted social well-being, though marital status did not significantly influence social well-being among the participants.  Conclusion: This study presented emotion regulation as a great predictor of social well-being. It is recommended that; emotion regulation should be built into the training and debriefing of mobile police before and after deployment to aid their better social well-being.}, keywords = {Keywords: Age,emotion regulation,Police,Post-deployment Stress,social well-being}, url = {https://www.behavsci.ir/article_112686.html}, eprint = {https://www.behavsci.ir/article_112686_c49f5a6d22257b006a44064c41f51e05.pdf} }
