心理赋权被理论化为一个包含情感、行为和认知成分的结构。然而，许多研究强调，授权过程取决于人际关系。此外，理论表明，权力是通过关系发展和行使的。本文认为，通过增加关系成分来扩展我们对心理赋权的概念，可以增强我们对心理赋权的理解，以及以赋权为导向的社区实践的有效性。本文回顾了以往关于赋权的相关研究，并从社区研究中的其他概念（包括社会资本、社区意识、社会网络、社会支持和公民参与）中梳理了赋权过程的关系背景。提出了一种新的心理赋权的法理学网络迭代，包括关系成分的元素。
Psychological empowerment has been theorized as a construct with emotional, behavioral and cognitive components. Yet, many studies have stressed that empowerment processes are contingent on interpersonal relationships. Moreover, theory suggests that power is developed and exercised through relationships. This article makes the case that expanding our conceptions of psychological empowerment through the addition of a relational component can enhance our understanding of psychological empowerment and the effectiveness of empowerment-oriented community practice. Previous research on empowerment is reviewed for relational content, and additional insights into the relational context of empowerment processes are marshaled from other concepts in community research including social capital, sense of community, social networks, social support, and citizen participation. A new iteration of the nomological network for psychological empowerment is presented, including the elements of a relational component.
