This article addresses how youth (with their embodied, physical, and cognitive resources) traverse, in situ, experiential pathways and how this plays a role in the experience of well‐being at Green Door Theater's (GDT) after‐school program. Electrodermal activity (EDA) is used as part of a qualitative protocol to deepen our understanding of intracultural variation by highlighting individual attention and engagement during normative activities. After‐school programs, as with other cultural groups, involve negotiations between individuals and the community of practice. By comparing youth with higher and lower program engagement, it is shown that culturally shaped routine activities (performances and the “gospel circle”) are experienced differentially. Program staff strive for high‐engagement participation and want to achieve this through normative program scripts for activities, yet data reveal that well‐being can emerge in other ways as well. The article shows how the triangulation of evidence from each level of analysis (ethnography, EDA, and youth interpretations of their experiences) adds value to the overall understanding of the creation of well‐being in such programs.

年轻人的个人向环境迈进的途径：在剧院课后计划中利用皮肤活动作为民族志工具

本文讨论了青年（及其所体现，的身体和认知资源）如何穿越，就地，体验性途径，以及它们如何在格林门剧院（GDT）课余学习计划的幸福体验中发挥作用。皮肤电活动（EDA）被用作定性规程的一部分，通过强调规范活动中的个人关注和参与来加深我们对文化内变异的理解。与其他文化团体一样，课后活动包括个人与实践社区之间的谈判。通过将年轻人与较高和较低节目参与度进行比较，可以看出，文化习惯性的例行活动（表演和“福音圈”）的体验有所不同。计划人员努力争取高参与度，并希望通过活动的规范性计划脚本来实现这一目标，但数据显示，幸福感也可以通过其他方式出现。本文展示了如何从各个分析级别（人种学，EDA和青年对其经历的解释）对证据进行三角剖分，从而增加对此类项目中创造福祉的整体理解的价值。
