目的：发展一种跨学科的社会归属感概念，可用于指导旨在评估残疾人社区计划有效性的测量方法。方法：我们使用多个数据库，以“归属感”作为关键检索词，对1990年至2011年7月期间发表的同行评议英语文献进行了叙述性范围审查。搜索引擎根据与搜索策略的相关性对文章进行排名。按顺序检索文献，直至达到理论饱和。我们通过回顾相关论文的参考文献列表来增强这种检索策略。结果：40篇文献后达到理论饱和，其中22篇为定性描述。我们确定了五个交叉的主题：主观性;对外部参照物的认同;互惠;活力和自决。结论：我们将归属感定义为一种主观的价值感和尊重感，源于与外部参照物的互惠关系，这种关系建立在共同的经历、信仰或个人特征的基础上。这些外部联系的感觉是建立在背景或所指群体的基础上的，一个人选择，想要和感觉允许属于谁。这种动态现象可能会受到环境和个人因素之间复杂相互作用的阻碍或促进。
Purpose: To develop a transdisciplinary conceptualization of social belonging that could be used to guide measurement approaches aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of community-based programs for people with disabilities. Method: We conducted a narrative, scoping review of peer reviewed English language literature published between 1990 and July 2011 using multiple databases, with "sense of belonging" as a key search term. The search engine ranked articles for relevance to the search strategy. Articles were searched in order until theoretical saturation was reached. We augmented this search strategy by reviewing reference lists of relevant papers. Results: Theoretical saturation was reached after 40 articles; 22 of which were qualitative accounts. We identified five intersecting themes: subjectivity; groundedness to an external referent; reciprocity; dynamism and self-determination. Conclusion: We define a sense of belonging as a subjective feeling of value and respect derived from a reciprocal relationship to an external referent that is built on a foundation of shared experiences, beliefs or personal characteristics. These feelings of external connectedness are grounded to the context or referent group, to whom one chooses, wants and feels permission to belong. This dynamic phenomenon may be either hindered or promoted by complex interactions between environmental and personal factors.
