To develop a transdisciplinary conceptualization of social belonging that could be used to guide measurement approaches aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of community-based programs for people with disabilities.
We conducted a narrative, scoping review of peer reviewed English language literature published between 1990 and July 2011 using multiple databases, with "sense of belonging" as a key search term. The search engine ranked articles for relevance to the search strategy. Articles were searched in order until theoretical saturation was reached. We augmented this search strategy by reviewing reference lists of relevant papers.
Theoretical saturation was reached after 40 articles; 22 of which were qualitative accounts. We identified five intersecting themes: subjectivity; groundedness to an external referent; reciprocity; dynamism and self-determination.
We define a sense of belonging as a subjective feeling of value and respect derived from a reciprocal relationship to an external referent that is built on a foundation of shared experiences, beliefs or personal characteristics. These feelings of external connectedness are grounded to the context or referent group, to whom one chooses, wants and feels permission to belong. This dynamic phenomenon may be either hindered or promoted by complex interactions between environmental and personal factors.
开发一种跨学科的社会归属感概念，可用于指导评估基于社区的残疾人项目有效性的测量方法。
我们对 1990 年至 2011 年 7 月期间发表的同行评审英文文献进行了叙述性、范围界定综述，使用了多个数据库，并将“归属感”作为关键搜索词。搜索引擎根据与搜索策略的相关性对文章进行排名。按照顺序搜索文章，直到达到理论饱和为止。我们通过审查相关论文的参考文献列表来扩充这一搜索策略。
经过 40 篇文章的研究，达到了理论饱和；其中 22 篇是定性描述。我们确定了五个相互交叉的主题：主观性；与外部参照的基础；互惠性；动态性和自主性。
我们将归属感定义为一种主观的价值感和尊重感，源自与外部参照的互惠关系，这种关系建立在共同经历、信仰或个人特征的基础上。这种对外在联系的感觉扎根于环境或参照群体，人们可以选择、希望并感到自己有归属感。这种动态现象可能会受到环境和个人因素之间复杂相互作用的阻碍或促进。
