ACADEMIC ABSTRACT Integrative theorizing is needed to advance our understanding of the relationship between where a person lives and their mental health. To this end, we introduce a social identity model that provides an integrated explanation of the ways in which social-psychological processes mediate and moderate the links between neighborhood and mental health. In developing this model, we first review existing models that are derived primarily from a resource-availability perspective informed by research in social epidemiology, health geography, and urban sociology. Building on these, the social identity model implicates neighborhood identification in four key pathways between residents' local environment and their mental health. We review a wealth of recent research that supports this model and which speaks to its capacity to integrate and extend insights from established models. We also explore the implications of the social identity approach for policy and intervention. PUBLIC ABSTRACT We need to understand the connection between where people live and their mental health better than we do. This article helps us do this by presenting an integrated model of the way that social and psychological factors affect the relationship between someone's neighborhood and their mental health. This model builds on insights from social epidemiology, health geography, and urban sociology. Its distinct and novel contribution is to point to the importance of four pathways through which neighborhood identification shapes residents' mental health. A large body of recent research supports this model and highlights its potential to integrate and expand upon existing theories. We also discuss how our model can inform policies and interventions that seek to improve mental health outcomes in communities.

连接社区：社区心理健康的社会认同方法。


学术摘要 需要综合理论来促进我们对一个人的居住地点与其心理健康之间关系的理解。为此，我们引入了一种社会认同模型，该模型对社会心理过程如何调解和调节邻里与心理健康之间的联系提供了综合解释。在开发该模型时，我们首先回顾现有模型，这些模型主要源自社会流行病学、健康地理学和城市社会学研究的资源可用性视角。在此基础上，社会认同模型将社区认同纳入居民当地环境与其心理健康之间的四个关键路径中。我们回顾了支持该模型的大量最新研究，并证明了其整合和扩展现有模型见解的能力。我们还探讨了社会认同方法对政策和干预的影响。公共摘要 我们需要比我们更好地了解人们居住地与心理健康之间的联系。本文通过提出一个综合模型来帮助我们做到这一点，该模型展示了社会和心理因素如何影响某人的邻居与其心理健康之间的关系。该模型建立在社会流行病学、健康地理学和城市社会学的见解之上。其独特而新颖的贡献是指出了社区认同塑造居民心理健康的四种途径的重要性。最近的大量研究支持该模型，并强调其整合和扩展现有理论的潜力。 我们还讨论了我们的模型如何为旨在改善社区心理健康结果的政策和干预措施提供信息。
