Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychological sense of community refers to the feeling of belonging and connectedness to a group of people who share a common identity, values, and goals. Without this sense of community, individuals may feel isolated and disconnected from others, leading to a lack of support and resources, and ultimately contributing to societal problems such as increased rates of mental health issues and crime. Therefore, its absence can be considered the most destructive dynamic in our society. Respect for human diversity (B) and relational community (D) are also important values in community psychology but are not specifically related to the absence of psychological sense of community. Expressive individualism (C) is a societal value that emphasizes individual expression and creativity but is not a central concept in community psychology.
