Community psychology's twin goals of prevention and empowerment are ill-served when researchers and practitioners restrict their activities to traditional mental health settings. This paper echoes the call of the Swampscott conference for expanding community psychology's domain of inquiry and action. It reviews examples from the research literature of efforts at prevention and empowerment in five classes of behavior settings identified by Barker (1968), namely, schools, work sites, religious settings, voluntary associations, and government, and suggests additional roles community psychologists might play.
当研究者和从业者将其活动局限于传统心理健康环境时,社区心理学预防和赋权这两个双重目标就无法得到很好的实现。本文响应了斯旺斯科特会议关于扩大社区心理学探究和行动领域的呼吁。它回顾了巴克(1968年)所确定的五类行为环境(即学校、工作场所、宗教场所、志愿协会和政府)中预防和赋权努力的研究文献实例,并提出了社区心理学家可能发挥的其他作用。
