Historically, positive psychology research and practice have focused on studying and promoting well-being among individuals. While positive psychology interventions focusing on the well-being of communities and marginalized groups have recently been developed, studies reporting on their nature and characteristics are lacking. The aim of this paper is to examine the nature of community-level positive psychology interventions. It reviews the target populations, intervention modalities, objectives, and desired effects of 25 community-level positive psychology interventions found in 31 studies. This scoping review shows that community-level programs based on positive psychology vary greatly in all these aspects. However, most interventions are aimed at individual-level changes to achieve target group outcomes. Contextual issues such as social conditions, values, and fairness affecting well-being are rarely considered. Discrepancies between community-level positive psychology interventions and community psychology in terms of values and social change are discussed.
从历史上看，积极心理学的研究与实践一直专注于研究和促进个体的幸福感。虽然最近已经开发出了关注社区和边缘化群体幸福感的积极心理学干预措施，但缺乏关于其性质和特征的研究报告。本文的目的是探讨社区层面积极心理学干预措施的性质。它回顾了31项研究中发现的25项社区层面积极心理学干预措施的目标人群、干预方式、目标和预期效果。这项范围综述表明，基于积极心理学的社区层面项目在所有这些方面差异很大。然而，大多数干预措施旨在实现个体层面的改变以达成目标群体的成果。很少考虑影响幸福感的社会条件、价值观和公平性等背景问题。本文还讨论了社区层面积极心理学干预措施与社区心理学在价值观和社会变革方面的差异。
