本研究评估了一个地方联合劝募协会的规划过程，该规划过程旨在为公民参与联合劝募协会的政策决策提供一个论坛。研究参与者被随机分配到高、中、低参与水平。高水平的参与代表了联合劝募会吸引公民参与规划决策的传统机制。研究人员预测，作为参与的结果，参与程度高的参与者会表现出相对强烈的赋权感，与联合劝募会的政策决策一致，以及社区意识。结果表明，参与对赋权感有显著影响，但高、中、低参与水平的群体在他们对联合劝募会政策决策的态度一致性或社区意识方面没有差异。
Abstract This research evaluated a local United Way planning process that was designed to provide a forum for citizen participation in United Way policy decisions. Study participants were randomly assigned to high, moderate, or low levels of participation. High level of participation represented the traditional mechanism by which United Way has elicited citizen contributions to planning decisions. The researchers predicted that as a result of participation, participants at the high level of participation would exhibit a relatively strong sense of empowerment, congruence with United Way policy decisions, and sense of community. Results indicated a significant effect of participation related to sense of empowerment, but no differences between the groups at the high, moderate, and low levels of participation in either the congruence of their attitudes with United Way policy decisions, or their sense of community.
