有证据表明,参与有形遗产与福祉的改善有关。然而,这种关联的实验测试,以及解释这种关系的理论解释,是缺乏的。本研究旨在通过开发一个基于社会认同方法的理论框架来弥补这一差距,该框架解释了基于社区的遗产参与对福祉的影响,并在社区测试坑考古发掘的背景下在准实验性实地研究中测试这种影响。与预测一致,结果表明,挖掘参与者(但不是控制条件下的参与者)在参与为期2天的挖掘计划(包括幸福感,自我效能感和感知的社区支持)后(与之前相比)报告了许多心理结果的改善。这些发现为以社区为基础的方法提供了启示,以提高福祉,以及进行以社区为基础的考古发掘的实践。
There is evidence that engagement with tangible heritage is linked to improvements in well‐being. However, experimental tests of this association, as well as theoretical accounts explaining this relationship, are lacking. The present study aims to compensate for this gap by developing a theoretical framework based on the social identity approach that explains the effect of community‐based heritage engagement on well‐being, and testing this effect in a quasi‐experimental field study in the context of community test pit archeological excavations. In line with the predictions, the results demonstrate that excavation participants (but not participants in the control condition) report improvements on a number of psychological outcomes after (as compared to before) participation in a 2‐day excavation program (including well‐being, self‐efficacy, and perceived community support). The findings offer implications for community‐based approaches to enhancing well‐being, as well as the practice of conducting community‐based archeological excavations.
