Abstract

Community psychology, which originated from the United States, has made significant progress in many countries over the past 50 years, but it is still an unfamiliar field in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the core concepts of community psychology and to increase the understanding of community psychology and highlight its practicality and importance. This paper introduces the core concepts of community psychology, including a shift in perspective, first-order and second-order change, ecological level of analysis, and action. It also considers how these core concepts can be utilized and which direction they can provide for the Korean society. Ultimately, the goal is to promote public awareness of community psychology, expand the scope of psychology in Korea, and make a positive contribution to solve social issues in the Koream society.
