Psychological Sense of Community (PSOC) represents a formative conceptual offering of Community Psychology to the social sciences. Nearly five decades ago, PSOC offered a window into the influence of ecological factors to understanding the emotional and behavioral well-being of members of disenfranchised and underserved segments of the population, especially members of minority and low-income subgroups. Our discipline's founders viewed PSOC as one promising vehicle for pursuing the desired paradigmatic shift from individual to systemically focused interventions to achieve intended outcomes of the emerging community mental health movement. This Commentary reflects the authors' shared thoughts to the adoption of PSOC by conservative spokespersons to explain the resistance of some to the diversification of the population and growing voice of progressive advocates.
心理社区感（PSOC）是社区心理学为社会科学提供的一个形成性概念。近五十年前，PSOC 为理解被剥夺权利和服务不足的人群，尤其是少数民族和低收入群体成员的情绪和行为健康，提供了一个了解生态因素影响的窗口。我们学科的奠基人认为，PSOC 是一种有前途的手段，可以实现从以个人为中心的干预到以系统为中心的干预的理想范式转变，从而实现新兴社区心理健康运动的预期结果。本评论反映了作者对保守派发言人采用 PSOC 来解释一些人对人口多样化和进步倡导者日益增长的声音的抵制的共同看法。
