Cultural and community psychology share a common emphasis on context, yet their leading journals rarely cite each other's articles. Greater integration of the concepts of culture and community within and across their disciplines would enrich and facilitate the viability of cultural community psychology. The contextual theory of activity settings is proposed as one means to integrate the concepts of culture and community in cultural community psychology. Through shared activities, participants develop common experiences that affect their psychological being, including their cognitions, emotions, and behavioral development. The psychological result of these experiences is intersubjectivity. Culture is defined as the shared meanings that people develop through their common historic, linguistic, social, economic, and political experiences. The shared meanings of culture arise through the intersubjectivity developed in activity settings. Cultural community psychology presents formidable epistemological challenges, but overcoming these challenges could contribute to the transformation and advancement of community psychology.
文化与社区心理学都强调背景的重要性，但它们的主要期刊很少相互引用对方的文章。在学科内部和跨学科之间更深入地融合文化和社区的概念，将丰富和促进文化社区心理学的可行性。活动环境的情境理论被提议作为将文化和社区的概念整合到文化社区心理学中的一种手段。通过共同的活动，参与者发展出共同的经历，影响他们的心理存在，包括他们的认知、情感和行为发展。这些经历的心理结果是主体间性。文化被定义为人们通过共同的历史、语言、社会、经济和政治经验而发展出的共同意义。文化的共同意义是通过活动环境中发展出来的主体间性产生的。文化社区心理学带来了巨大的认识论挑战，但克服这些挑战可能有助于社区心理学的转变和发展。
