Community psychology has a longstanding relationship with social change, but our focus on it, frameworks around it, and ability to bring it about varies. This two-stage, mixed methods, Delphi study explores participant-generated examples of and responses to social change to help refocus our praxis at this time. The study gathered both participant-generated examples of social change (Stage 1, <i>n</i> = 190) and ratings of them (Stage 2, <i>n</i> = 232) in terms of significance and valence. A thematic analysis of the 52 examples from Stage 1 produced four themes: (i) Legal protections, rights and equality; (ii) technological impacts; (iii) global and domestic political events and governance; and (iv) societal beliefs and behaviour. In Stage 2, all 52 examples were viewed by participants as being significant. While most were viewed as positive, eight were neutral and six were negative. Meaningful differences were found between average scores across themes in terms of significance and valence. The discussion highlights the broad range of social changes, and their significance and valence variations. It then explores how these findings might build the potential contribution of community psychology in the arena of progressive social change against a global backdrop that needs such changes more than ever.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15496,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community psychology","volume":"53 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A further four realist interviews were conducted with workers from community organisations. Template analysis was the main analytical tool used to test and refine an initial programme theory, incorporating sub-analyses of visual and longitudinal data. Theory was developed that explains how the interactions between the lived experiences and community interventions creates a safe and empowering space. Six key ingredients were identified including (1) community setting; (2) creative activity; (3) consistent access; (4) choice over engagement; (5) shared lived experiences; (6) compassionate workers; forming the Creative Communities Framework.

Additionally, according to Family Systems theory, sibling relationships are an integral part of children's positive development. Therefore, it is possible that sibling support mediates the association between parent–child communication and children's coping strategies. Data for this project were taken from a large-scale longitudinal study and were collected from <i>N</i> = 1561 adolescents (<i>M</i>_age = 12.75). Results suggested that parent–adolescent communication had a significant direct impact on all three coping strategies.

Social capital, the set of normative resources derived from social integration (including social trust, reciprocity, and social networks), is intergenerationally transmissible and has a significant influence on adolescent development. As such, we explored whether parent–child social capital similarity mediates the effects of family SES on depressive symptoms in adolescents (<i>i.e., family SES → parental social capital → adolescent social capital → adolescents' depressive symptoms</i>) across various indicators of SES. Data from the 2020 China Family Panel Studies survey spanning 2,671 adolescents (aged 10–18) and their parents were analyzed using the actor-partner interdependence mediation model. Results showed that the impact of family SES on adolescents' depressive symptoms was mediated by the social capital similarity between mothers and adolescents (<i>maternal social capital → adolescent social capital</i>), but not by the social capital similarity between fathers and adolescents. Overall, we found evidence supporting the said mediation mechanism of parent–child similarity in social beliefs (i.e., social capital) in mothers, but not fathers. The current findings suggest that mother–child similarity in social beliefs could serve as a potential explanatory mechanism and possible intervening target for depression during adolescence. Moreover, the findings have vital implications in that they could inform the development of targeted interventions to mitigate SES-related mental health disparities among the youth population, thus improving quality of life.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15496,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community psychology","volume":"53 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144292587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, low-income families from historically marginalized racial and ethnic backgrounds disproportionately experience barriers to accessing, engaging, and completing treatment. This study examined the recruitment and referral network of a parenting program providing Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in a large urban academic medical center and affiliated community-embedded clinics, as well as the impact of recruitment/referral sources on screening paperwork completion, intake attendance, and treatment completion. Data from 2510 families referred between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed, considering demographic factors and recruitment adaptations during COVID-19. Referral sources included but were not limited to community agencies, social media, and healthcare providers. Logistic regression analyses determined the likelihood of completing the screening paperwork, attending intake, and completing treatment based on recruitment/referral sources. Every recruitment/referral source increased the likelihood of screening paperwork completion (except community outreach). Every source increased the likelihood of attending intake (except previously enrolled families). Treatment completion was significantly more likely for those referred from pediatricians, friends, behavioral health, and Google. After COVID-19 (post March 2020), families were more likely to complete the screening paperwork, attend intake, and complete treatment compared to families screened before COVID-19. Effective recruitment and retention strategies are crucial for engaging families in mental health services. Findings emphasize the role of community and healthcare providers, word-of-mouth, and Google and the benefits of telehealth (indicated by post-COVID-19 results), in improving treatment access and retention, highlighting the need for flexible service delivery methods.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15496,"journal":{"name":"Journal of community psychology","volume":"53 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jcop.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
