“…A semi-structured qualitative interview was developed from community theory literatures 4 with the domains of qualitative inquiry qualitative questions derived from quantitative surveys such as the External Community Integration Scale (Manzo & Perkins, 2006), the Sense of Community Index (Perkins, Florin, Rich, et al ,1990), measures of perceived neighbourhood social cohesion (Sampson, 1997), the Devaluation-Discrimination Scale (Link, 1987), and the evaluation framework of Aubrey and Myner (1996). Three times over the course of approximately 10 months, with interviews taking place at the beginning, in month 5, and at the end of this period, participants spent between 6-8 hours (within a 1 week period) completing in-depth interviews focusing on all domains of community participation (i.e., physical, psychological, social, economic, spiritual, political).…”

“…De otro lado, los trabajos que identifican la participación comunitaria con procesos como la creación de capital social (Putnam, 1993), la promoción del bienestar psicológico (Prilleltensky et al, 2001), la satisfacción de los miembros de la comunidad (Larson et al, 2009) y la mejora del entorno comunitario (Alaimo et al, 2010;Perkins, 1991;Perkins et al, 1990) muestran que este proceso constituye uno de los ejes centrales para fortalecer el desarrollo comunitario. La participación en actividades de promoción comunitaria con frecuencia requiere adentrarse en organizaciones de base comunitaria, conocer las instituciones públicas que proporcionan servicios sociales y las entidades privadas que desarrollan su actividad en la comunidad.…”

El propósito de este artículo es investigar la conexión existente entre el Sentido Psicológico de Comunidad, la Participación Comunitaria y el análisis de redes organizativas, examinando la influencia que dichos enfoques ejercen en los niveles de análisis individual, organizativo y comunitario. Para alcanzar este objetivo, ofrecemos una revisión de la literatura en las tres perspectivas y, a continuación, se analiza el modo en que quedan articulados con los distintos niveles de análisis. Finalmente, exponemos algunas aportaciones que la aplicación de un enfoque ecológico multinivel puede tener para mejorar la efectividad de las intervenciones comunitarias.

“…In addition, respondents' sense of community within their immediate setting was examined by using an adapted version of Sense of Community Index (SCI, Perkins, Florin, Rich, Wandersman, & Chavis, 1990). Examples of the scale included: "It is very important to me to belong to this particular church", and "I feel at home at this church".…”

While the literature demonstrates that the relationship between religion and wellbeing is generally positive, detailed information about the context where the religion is based is rarely given. Drawing on multi-dimensional perspectives of spirituality, the present study regards spirituality as an integral dimension of a person's religious beliefs, practices and experiences within a given context. The manifestation of spirituality can be viewed from personal, interpersonal and social dimensions. The primary objective of the study is to examine whether, how and why the spirituality and religious community of Protestant tradition can affect the well-being of people in the context of Hong Kong.In the first phase of the study, 324 Chinese from four Protestant communities, representing four major kinds of Protestant spirituality, and one non-religious comparison group in Hong Kong were recruited. MANOVA results showed that religious community exerted a significant impact on people's spirituality and sense of community, which enhance their well-being -manifested in life satisfaction, social trust and civic participation. The different religious contexts exhibited different dimensions of spirituality and well-being, suggesting that the impact is not only direct but also dependent on and intertwined with the religious setting. Path analyses demonstrated the complex relationship between spirituality and well-being variables. While some of the spirituality-related variables may directly predict civic participation, the relationship between such variables and life satisfaction and social trust are mainly mediated through mental health and sense of community.The second phase of the study incorporated a field study (participant observation, interview and documentary analysis). Activity setting analysis was used as the interpretive framework, to unpack the elements of the various religious settings and to identify the present and absent conditions that help explain the variety and diversity of well-being outcomes manifested in the survey section. The data showed that immediate religious settings affect people's emotions, cognitions and behavioural patterns, through relational, ideational and even material aspects of the social environment, which finally lead to various kinds of well-being. Results also demonstrate that not only may the different religious settings enhance different kinds of well-being, but that they also provide different pathways to enhance a certain kind of well-being. These findings iii suggest that religious impacts on people's well-being are diverse and intricate. The present study thus confirms the important role of religion in people's well-being, but further signifies the intricate relationship between the various dimensions of religion and well-being. Moreover, when studying the effects of religion, both the subjective and the community context of a person's spirituality cannot be overlooked when drawing any conclusion on the costs and benefits of religion. iv v
