This paper explores whether regular involvement in a rural, country sport, frequently practised by older individuals, builds social capital and friendships, reduces loneliness, and positively impacts individuals’ health and wellbeing. Taking a critical realist, mixed-methods approach, using a recognised social impact assessment methodology theoretically underpinned by social capital theory, this study identifies that driven-game shooting participation creates social impact via social capital creation and identity reinforcement. Results indicate a statistically significant, positive impact on mental health and wellbeing (N = 2,424), which varies by shoot size and/or type. The results are discussed in relation to implications for managing elderly health and wellbeing in rural areas.

本文探讨了经常参加老年人经常参加的农村乡村运动是否可以建立社会资本和友谊,减少孤独感,并对个人的健康和福祉产生积极影响。本研究采用批判现实主义的混合方法,使用公认的社会影响评估方法,在理论上以社会资本理论为基础,确定驱动游戏射击参与通过社会资本创造和身份强化来产生社会影响。结果表明对心理健康和幸福感具有统计学意义的积极影响(N = 2,424),其因芽大小和/或类型而异。讨论结果与管理农村地区老年人健康和福祉的影响有关。
