Although, there are many times when P/SOC and diversity appear in opposition, I argue that this conflict is not inherent to the concepts or their joint value, but to social contexts in which they are enacted in real life. The primary values of community psychology-building and supporting positive communities, social change, and social justice within a framework that recognizes the centrality of diversity, culture, inclusion, power, and privilege-actually bind diversity and community together. Thus, we can bridge this seeming dialectic through deeper reflection about the real and intended meaning, operationalization, and application of these two terms, and a reliance on the central values of our field.
尽管有时个人与社会文化能力和多样性似乎相互矛盾，但我认为这种冲突不是源于这两个概念本身或它们的共同价值，而是源于它们在现实生活中发挥作用的社会背景。社区心理学的主要价值观是在承认多样性、文化、包容性、权力和特权核心地位的框架内，建立和支持积极的社区、推动社会变革和实现社会正义——这些价值观实际上将多样性和社区联系在一起。因此，我们可以通过更深入地反思这两个术语的实际和预期含义、操作化和应用，并依赖我们领域的核心价值观，来弥合这种看似矛盾的关系。
