This article discusses the challenges faced by researchers and interventionists when attempting to promote change in social norms and normative beliefs that promote HIV/AIDS risk-related behaviors among Puerto Rican and Dominican women. The article focuses on the role of culture in HIV/AIDS prevention with women by analyzing the sociohistorical context of some cultural beliefs and by illustrating the tension between risk-related and protective cultural beliefs in research conducted by the authors with women in both New York and Puerto Rico. The authors propose that promoting changes in sex-related social norms and normative beliefs might be constructed as a subversive act and present the challenge this analysis poses for community psychology. They conclude that this conceptualization might be construed as subversive because rather than idealizing culture, it promotes changes that respect diversity within the culture and foster participation in the development of new cultural values, beliefs and norms.
本文探讨了研究人员和干预者在试图推动社会规范及规范性信念的改变时所面临的挑战，这些社会规范和信念助长了波多黎各和多米尼加女性中与艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险相关的行为。本文通过分析一些文化信念的社会历史背景，并举例说明作者在纽约和波多黎各与女性开展的研究中，与风险相关的文化信念和保护性文化信念之间的矛盾，着重探讨了文化在预防女性感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面的作用。作者提出，推动与性相关的社会规范及规范性信念的改变可能会被视为一种颠覆性的行为，并阐述了这种分析给社区心理学带来的挑战。他们得出结论，这种概念化可能被视为具有颠覆性，因为它并非理想化文化，而是促进尊重文化内部多样性的变革，并促进参与新文化价值观、信念和规范的发展。
