艺术参与与心理健康：一个社会心理学框架

摘要(中文译文)

近年来，关于艺术参与与心理健康的研究迅速扩展，越来越多的证据表明，参与艺术和文化活动与幸福感提升、心理困扰减轻以及社会联结增强相关。然而，理论解释仍缺乏充分整合。现有研究识别出多种可能机制，包括情绪表达、压力缓解、社会互动、身份形成和意义建构，但这些过程往往被并行讨论，而非在一个连贯的解释框架中加以综合。此外，文献常常将日常艺术参与与社区项目和正式治疗性干预混为一谈，使得难以确定艺术参与作为普通社会生活中的心理健康资源究竟有何独特之处。针对这些局限，本文进行概念综述，并构建一个社会心理学框架，以理解艺术参与可能如何影响心理健康。文章主要聚焦于普通社会生活中的日常性和面向社区的艺术参与形式，同时有选择地借鉴治疗性和项目化文献，以厘清概念边界和机制。文章认为，艺术参与不应仅仅被理解为一种休闲活动或文化接触，而应被视为一种社会性组织化的实践，个体通过这种实践获得心理社会资源。为推进这一论点，文章提出一个四层框架，包括社会支架式情绪调节、联结与归属、社会身份、集体意义与社会疗愈，以及能动性、承认与叙事修复。通过将这些过程整合到一个单一的概念模型中，文章阐明了艺术参与可能如何影响心理健康、这些效应最可能在何种条件下出现，以及为何社会心理学视角为理解这些关联提供了有价值的框架。

Abstract

Research on arts engagement and mental health has expanded rapidly in recent years, and a growing body of evidence suggests that participation in artistic and cultural activities is associated with improved well-being, reduced psychological distress, and stronger social connectedness. However, theoretical explanations remain insufficiently integrated. Existing studies identify a wide range of possible mechanisms, including emotional expression, stress reduction, social interaction, identity formation, and meaning-making, yet these processes are often discussed in parallel rather than synthesized within a coherent explanatory framework. In addition, the literature frequently conflates everyday arts engagement with community-based programmes and formal therapeutic interventions, making it difficult to determine what is distinctive about arts engagement as a mental health resource in ordinary social life. In response to these limitations, this article offers a conceptual review and develops a social psychological framework for understanding how arts engagement may influence mental health. It focuses primarily on everyday and community-facing forms of arts engagement in ordinary social life, while drawing selectively on therapeutic and programme-based literature to clarify conceptual boundaries and mechanisms. The article argues that arts engagement should be understood not merely as a leisure activity or cultural exposure, but as a socially organized practice through which individuals gain access to psychosocial resources. To advance this argument, it proposes a four-layer framework comprising socially scaffolded affect regulation, connectedness and belonging, social identity, collective meaning, and the social cure, and agency, recognition, and narrative repair. By integrating these processes within a single conceptual model, the article clarifies how arts engagement may influence mental health, under what conditions these effects are most likely to emerge, and why a social psychological perspective provides a valuable framework for understanding these associations.
