摘要:

AbstractIn the context of a larger study focused on the development of an instrument to measure sense of community, respondents were asked to identify components (e.g., family, friends, church, neighborhood) that they believe comprise their community. Initial data analysis suggested a potentially important division between respondents who did and did not include “neighborhood” in their definition of their community. These two groups then were compared on the major variables of the larger study: Actual sense of community, ideal sense of community, community satisfaction, and community competence. Results suggest that respondents with a higheridealsense of community were significantly less likely to identify “neighborhood” as a component of their community; those whoseactualsense of community, community satisfaction, and community competence were higher were significantly more likely to include “neighborhood” among the components. The tendency not to consider one's neighborhood important in assessingidealsense of community, but, rather, to actually consider it an important feature of one's day‐to‐day sense of community is discussed in light of some suggestions that one's neighborhood has become a less important element in developing or maintaining one's sen

摘要:

AbstractFew historians would argue that our times are not characterized by a concern for community. What we have not acknowledged is that the rise of interest in community and neighborhood organization since the 1950s has coincided with a revolt against a deterministic notion of culture as a total way of life definitive of the possibilities of human behavior in particular locations or times. In the past two decades that revolt has centered on a quest for self‐fulfillment. This has led to a public policy dilemma and to a semiparalysis in politics, for in a community of liberated individuals in pursuit of self‐fulfillment there can be no public welfare toward which to work and to sacrifice and over which to argue and make compromi

摘要:

AbstractFor working adults, the workplace may be a key referent for the psychological sense of community. Unfortunately, community psychologists have devoted little attention to workers or work organizations. This article provides a preliminary conceptual approach to the referents, determinants, and consequences of a sense of community at work. New directions for research and theory‐building on work organizations and the experience of work are suggeste

摘要:

AbstractA case study of a neighborhood crimewatch illustrates the interactive recreation of community from the fragmentation and alienation of contemporary urban life. Organizing an intensive walking watch program in response to a serious neighborhood crime‐wave in Cambridge, Massachusetts emphasized a “working it out” strategy that attempted to reconcile and draw from the different approaches and talents of oldtimer working‐class and newcomer middle‐class residents. Empowerment ultimately expanded into municipal and ward politics, disarmament, and civilian review board programs. A participant‐observation, intersubjective methodology, as part of the organizing, provided a validational context for observation, interview and drawing community and organizing histories. The results suggested that community re‐creation increases empowerment, social control, and sense of community (McMillan&Chavis, 1986) and develops a complementary mix of social problems and opportunity reduction approaches. Citizen participation and control and an active role for the community psychologist are recommended to facilitate democracy and empowerment in fragmente

摘要:

AbstractComprehensive Community Projects (CCPs) and their associated community houses represent use of the community psychology philosophy in an attempt to recreate an “old‐fashioned” sense of community in the context of modern suburban communities. In this paper, the history of the CCP in New Zealand is traced, and key aspects of its organization are discussed. The CCP is related to principles and practice of community psychology, especially community control, developing a sense of community, and the role of community psychologists. Evaluation issues are raised, and results available so far are presented. In terms of overall community participation, the CCP appears to be a striking su
