By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Psychology & Psychiatry Journal -- Data detailed on Psychology - Community Psychology have been presented. According to news reporting from Albuquerque, New Mexico, by VerticalNews journalists, research stated, “Interventions aimed at enhancing mental health are increasingly centered around promoting community attachment and support. However, few have examined and tested the specific ecological factors that give rise to these key community processes.”
Financial support for this research came from National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University of New Mexico, “Drawing from insights from the ecological network perspective, we tested whether spatial and social overlap in routine activity settings (e.g., work, school, childcare) with fellow ethnic community members is associated with individuals’ attachment to their ethnic communities and access to social resources embedded in their communities. Data on routine activity locations drawn from the Refugee Well-Being Project (based in a city in the Southwestern United States) were used to reconstruct the?ecological networks of recently resettled refugee communities, which were two-mode networks that comprise individuals and their routine activity locations. Results indicated that respondents’ community attachment and support increased with their ecological network extensity-which taps the extent to which respondents share routine activity locations with other community members.”
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Our study highlights a key ecological process that potentially enhances individuals’ ethnic community attachment that extends beyond residential neighborhoods.”
