OBJECTIVE This participatory research sought to understand how engagement in awareness-raising multicultural activities strengthens well-being and group efficacy among immigrants and host nationals. We also examined the mediating role of self-transcendent emotions and shared flow. METHOD We tested our predictions across three studies, each focused on one awareness-raising activity organized by a nongovernmental organization, SOS Racismo-Mugak, working closely with the local community. This investigation was conducted in line with a community-based participatory research framework and thus with participation of community members in the procedure design, recruitment and data collection, as well as the dissemination of research findings. In Study 1, 204 participants responded to a survey before, during, and after participating in a multicultural lunch promoting interaction between immigrant and host national families. In Study 2, 106 participants were surveyed during an open-outdoors multicultural community meal. In Study 3, 93 participants completed an online survey after an antiracist protest. RESULTS Self-transcendent emotions and shared flow explained the relationship between the quality of participation and well-being (Studies 1 and 2) among immigrants and host nationals. The indirect effect of shared flow was stronger for immigrants (Study 1). The relationship between quality of participation and group efficacy was mediated by self-transcendent emotions (Study 2) and shared flow (Study 3) for both groups. CONCLUSIONS Our results point out that participation in community awareness-raising activities has several positive outcomes, such as individual and collective empowerment, and elicits shared flow and self-transcendent emotions among immigrants and host nationals.

参与提高多元文化意识的社区行动：对福祉和群体效能的积极影响。

目标这项参与性研究旨在了解参与提高意识的多元文化活动如何增强移民和东道国国民的福祉和群体效能。我们还研究了自我超越情绪和共享心流的中介作用。方法 我们在三项研究中测试了我们的预测，每项研究都侧重于由非政府组织 SOS Racismo-Mugak 组织的一项提高认识的活动，该组织与当地社区密切合作。这项调查是根据基于社区的参与性研究框架进行的，因此社区成员参与了程序设计、招聘和数据收集以及研究结果的传播。在研究 1 中，204 名参与者在之前、期间、在参加了促进移民和东道国家庭之间互动的多元文化午餐之后。在研究 2 中，106 名参与者在一次开放的户外多元文化社区聚餐中接受了调查。在研究 3 中，93 名参与者在反种族主义抗议后完成了一项在线调查。结果 自我超越的情绪和共享流动解释了移民和东道国国民的参与质量和幸福感（研究 1 和 2）之间的关系。共享流动对移民的间接影响更强（研究 1）。参与质量与团体效能之间的关系由两组的自我超越情绪（研究 2）和共享心流（研究 3）介导。结论 我们的结果指出，参与社区提高认识活动有几个积极的结果，例如个人和集体赋权，并在移民和东道国之间引发共享的流动和自我超越的情感。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
