“…Except for a few examples at the microlevel (see Capone, Donizzetti, & Petrillo, 2018;Paloma, García-Ramírez, & Camacho, 2014) it is hard to find quantitative studies in CP, which place social justice in relation to happiness or well-being. As Prilleltensky (2012) has pointed out: "After all, researchers studying subjective well-being rarely if ever invoke justice in their explanations.…”

Happiness as fairness: The relationship between national life satisfaction and social justice in EU countries

Despite growing interest in the relation between social justice and life satisfaction, there is a paucity of quantitative investigations linking these two constructs, even in the field of Community Psychology. To bridge this gap, we tested the relationship between the EU Social Justice Index (SJI; 2008–2017) and life satisfaction across 28 European Union (EU) countries, in a series of multilevel multinomial logistic regression models with cumulative logit link function. The SJI proved one of the strongest predictors of national life satisfaction, after controlling for time variation and other well‐established country‐level determinants. Our findings lend support to the hypothesis that social justice is highly related to life satisfaction. We invite scholars to explore this relationship further. We also recommend that EU governments strive to promote fairer social conditions to increase national happiness.

“…The studies utilizing the Mental Health Continuum (Keyes, 2005) to examine how social well-being relates to PSOC (ISCS for adolescents; Albanesi, Cicognani, & Zani, 2005) among youth and young adults in Italy also found overall positive and significant associations between these variables (Albanesi, Cicognani, & Zani, 2007;Cicognani, Mazzoni, Albanesi, & Zani, 2015). More specifically in the school context, Capone, Donizzetti, and Petrillo (2018) found that PSOC (and all five dimensions included in the PSOC Scale for Adolescents in the Classroom; Petrillo et al, 2016) was significantly and positively associated with social wellbeing. Further,theyfound that social well-being (Cicognani, Pirini, et al, 2008;Keyes, 2005) was significantly and positively associated with school-level PSOC (Petrillo et al, 2016).…”

“…In the studies encapsulated in the current literature review, both territorial and relational communities are considered, though the studies that include a relational component often frame the referent in a territorial fashion. For example, several studies (e.g., Capone et al, 2018) examine PSOC among students in a classroom or school (territorial), while the measure itself has items concerning relationships with peers (relational).…”

Sense of community and well‐being are considered core tenets in the field of community psychology, acting as focal points for theory, research, and action. This integrative review synthesizes the empirical literature on sense of community and well‐being with respect to four research questions focused on the relationships between these variables, the methodologies used to study those relationships, and how future research might expand upon the current literature. A search of the available literature produced 30 articles that met the search criteria, based primarily on conceptualizations and measurement of both sense of community and hedonic and eudaimonic well‐being. This review suggests a general consensus across the literature of a positive relationship between sense of community and well‐being among both youth and adults in a variety of settings, and discusses the strengths and limitations of this area of research, pointing to the need for more nuanced, ecologically valid research that incorporates more qualitative and critical methodologies. We hope that this review can promote a more thorough understanding of how sense of community and individual well‐being relate to each other, and that ongoing research in this area can be a catalyst for action research and interventions that are applied to pressing contemporary issues as well as strengths‐based approaches focused on how to foster and support the well‐being of individuals within their community contexts.

“…There are several studies on the effects of collective efficacy and the consequences of group work. For example, Capone, Donizzetti, and Petrillo (2018) showed that collective efficacy can influence student well-being. In a meta-analysis Stajkovic, Lee, and Nyberg (2009) found that collective efficacy was significantly related to group performance.…”

Attitudes towards being assessed in group work: The effects of self‐efficacy and collective efficacy moderated by a short educational intervention

Being assessed in group work is a balance between cooperation and competition. Self-efficacy and collective efficacy are important concepts in understanding how group work progresses and what attitudes assessment evokes. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a short educational intervention on the association between efficacy beliefs and attitudes towards being assessed in group work. In a randomized, controlled study of 22 pupil work groups, half of them got a short educational intervention. The work groups were formed for this study. The pupils answered a questionnaire before the intervention and after doing group work for 3 to 6 weeks with a study-specific task. A moderated mediation analysis showed that attitudes towards being assessed in group work significantly are related to self-efficacy mediated through perceived collective efficacy and that this relationship is stronger in the intervention group. In the context of work group assessment, we have shown that self-efficacy and collective efficacy are two separate, but related concepts that are dependent on each other when it comes to pupil attitudes towards group work assessment, and that a relatively short educational intervention to teachers and pupils had an effect on the attitude. However, the older girls' attitude towards
