The manuscript (text, tables, and figures) has been revised to reflect the correct sample size and values accordingly and the changes in the tables and figures are also included here. The text in the Method section that describes the sampling strategy and the new sample sizes for the model is corrected as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“After accounting for nondeliverable and duplicate addresses (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 10,822, 39%), 17,178 veterans were invited to participate (67.6% high crime, 32.4% not high crime), and 3544 veterans enrolled in the study (21% response rate overall; 20% response rate high crime; 22% response rate not high crime). An analysis of the zip codes used by respondents found the FBI crime index was 99 for the not high crime group, indicating average crime levels matched the national crime average. The high crime group had a mean FBI crime index of 323, indicating crime levels 3.23 times higher than average. Participants with missing data on any of the study variables were excluded from analyses (513 participants). Thus, the total sample consisted of 3031 participants, of which 2090 (69.0%) were trauma-exposed and 1517 (51.0%) were women.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Additionally, all depression models included trauma exposure, and the interactions of trauma exposure with any variables included in interaction terms as predictors of mental health outcomes. Trauma exposure was not examined in the PTSD moderation models because they were conducted on only those veterans (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 2090) who reported experiencing a DSM-5 Criterion A stressor to which they anchored their PCL. Depression moderation models included everyone who completed the PHQ-9 (&lt;i&gt;n&lt;/i&gt; = 2942), with &lt;i&gt;N&lt;/i&gt; = 3031 across both PTSD and depression models.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This error did not influence the study's main findings.

Early literature on Black emerging adults' perceived neighborhood quality (PNQ) tended to make comparisons to White people and to focus disproportionately on the perceptions of low-income Black people residing in predominately racial/ethnic minority and underresourced communities. Subsequent work on subjective neighborhood assessment has considered specific features of neighborhoods, such as safety or disorder, but a general sense of the quality of one's neighborhood features is still underexplored. The current study adapts Connerly and Marans' (1985) PNQ model to explore the relations between social identities and locations, neighborhood sociostructural features, time in the area, and PNQ among Black urban-residing emerging adults. Block-wise regression results suggest that education and partner status were associated with PNQ. Perceptions of the percentage of Black neighbors and Census Bureau proportions of residents in the zip code who are poor were also associated with PNQ. Length of residence in the neighborhood was marginally associated with PNQ while length of residence in the city/town was not significantly associated with PNQ. For young Black women, combined household income was marginally associated with PNQ, but neighborhood sociostructural features were the strongest contributors to PNQ. In contrast, education was the only significant contributor to PNQ for young Black men. We discuss the ways that the social positions of young Black residents and their neighbors may impact their experiences and evaluations of urban areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"72 3-4","pages":"409-427"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10139788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results suggest a dynamic balance between place dependence, place identity, and bonding social capital, in which the relative importance of each construct can shift over time, and where losses in one of these areas may lead to cascading losses in the other areas. For buyout participants, increases in place dependence were associated with increases in bonding social capital, indicating that relocatees either regained both place dependence and bonding social capital in their new homes and communities, or they lost and did not regain both, depending on whether their new home and community met their emotional and functional needs sufficiently. For residents who remained in place, higher levels of place dependence were associated with losses in bonding social capital, reflecting the potential consequences of living in postdisaster limbo.

CP exists in at least 50 countries all over the world, in many of those for over 25 years. Yet, aside from several early Israeli articles, <i>AJCP</i> rarely published work from or about countries outside the US and Canada until the early 2000s, when the number of international articles began to rise sharply. The focus of CP developed differently in different continents. CP in Australia and New Zealand initially followed North America's emphasis on improving social service systems, but has since focused more on environmental and indigenous cultural and decolonial issues that are as salient in those countries as in North America, but have drawn much more attention. CP came later to most of Asia, where it also tended to follow the North American path, but starting in Japan, India, and Hong Kong and now in China and elsewhere, it is establishing its own way. The other two global hotspots for CP for over 40 years have been Europe and Latin America. The level and focus of CP in Europe varies in each country, with some focused on applied developmental psychology and/or community services and others advancing critical and liberation psychology. CP in Latin America evolved from social psychology, but like CP in Sub-Saharan Africa, is also more explicitly political due to a history of political oppression, social activism, and the limitations of individualistic psychology to focus on social change, overcoming poverty, and interventions by (not just for) community members. Despite those differences, CP literature over the past 23 years suggests an increasingly common interest in social justice, multinational collaborations, and decoloniality. There is still a need for more truly (bidirectional) cross-cultural, comparative work for mutual learning, sharing of ideas, methods, and intervention practices, and for CP to develop in countries and communities throughout the globe where it could have the greatest impact.</p>","PeriodicalId":7576,"journal":{"name":"American journal of community psychology","volume":"72 3-4","pages":"302-316"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ajcp.12696","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9911836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
