This participatory research sought to understand how engagement in awareness-raising multicultural activities strengthens well-being and group efficacy among immigrants and host nationals. We also examined the mediating role of self-transcendent emotions and shared flow.
We tested our predictions across three studies, each focused on one awareness-raising activity organized by a nongovernmental organization, SOS Racismo-Mugak, working closely with the local community. This investigation was conducted in line with a community-based participatory research framework and thus with participation of community members in the procedure design, recruitment and data collection, as well as the dissemination of research findings. In Study 1, 204 participants responded to a survey before, during, and after participating in a multicultural lunch promoting interaction between immigrant and host national families. In Study 2, 106 participants were surveyed during an open-outdoors multicultural community meal. In Study 3, 93 participants completed an online survey after an antiracist protest.
Self-transcendent emotions and shared flow explained the relationship between the quality of participation and well-being (Studies 1 and 2) among immigrants and host nationals. The indirect effect of shared flow was stronger for immigrants (Study 1). The relationship between quality of participation and group efficacy was mediated by self-transcendent emotions (Study 2) and shared flow (Study 3) for both groups.
Our results point out that participation in community awareness-raising activities has several positive outcomes, such as individual and collective empowerment, and elicits shared flow and self-transcendent emotions among immigrants and host nationals.

本参与式研究旨在探讨参与提高认识的多元文化活动如何增强移民和东道国国民的幸福感和群体效能。我们还研究了自我超越情绪和共享流畅感的中介作用。
我们在三项研究中检验了我们的预测，每项研究都集中在一个由非政府组织 SOS Racismo-Mugak 组织的提高认识活动上，该组织与当地社区密切合作。这项调查是根据基于社区的参与式研究框架进行的，因此社区成员参与了程序设计、招募和数据收集，以及研究结果的传播。在研究 1 中，204 名参与者在参加促进移民和东道国家庭之间互动的多元文化午餐之前、期间和之后回答了一份调查。在研究 2 中，106 名参与者在一次开放的多元文化社区餐会上接受了调查。在研究 3 中，93 名参与者在反种族主义抗议后完成了在线调查。
自我超越情绪和共享流畅感解释了移民和东道国国民参与质量与幸福感之间的关系（研究 1 和 2）。共享流畅感对移民的间接效应更强（研究 1）。自我超越情绪（研究 2）和共享流畅感（研究 3）都介导了参与质量与群体效能之间的关系。
我们的结果表明，参与社区提高认识的活动具有多种积极成果，例如个人和集体赋权，并在移民和东道国国民中引起共享流畅感和自我超越情绪。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
