This chapter steers readers through multiple trajectories of social capital research. It leverages and honors past research on traditional, alternative, sociological, and psychological forms of social capital. Punk rock music is used as a guide to better understand each trajectory and to construct a new framework of emancipative psychological social capital. The new framework of emancipative psychological social capital is crafted by drawing upon three strands of knowledge: (1) philosophy and theory; (2) empirical findings; and (3) punk rock lyrics and narratives. This framework can serve as a tool for assessors, evaluators, policy-makers, practitioners, and researchers when investigating new avenues and better psychological understandings of social capital in their pursuit of conceptualizing community well-being. Particular attention is paid to the importance of context throughout this chapter in understanding social capital’s role in community well-being. Finally, future directions regarding social capital as a concept in community well-being work are presented and discussed.
