Community psychologists are concerned with creating a positive sense of community.Describe two elements involved in creating a positive sense of community.

1.Membership.This is the idea that a community has geographical or social boundaries,and we can determine who belongs in the community and who does not.Membership in a community can bring about a sense of emotional safety,belonging,and the desire to invest in one's community.
2.Influence.This refers to the power an individual has within a community and the power the community has over the individual.Individuals who feel as though their presence in the community doesn't make a difference are unlikely to feel a strong sense of community.
3.Integration and fulfillment of needs.Community members are interdependent.This refers to the idea of shared values among community members,satisfying each other's needs,and sharing goods and resources.
4.Shared emotional connection.Community members in a cohesive community will feel a shared bond with others within their community.This can be a result of a spiritual bond or cultivated through shared experiences,celebrations,or rituals.
