In much of the research on PSOC, there has been a focus on identifying a single PSOC for an individual in a setting. Qualitative and quantitative data are used here to investigate the presence and operation of multiple psychological senses of community for individuals. These multiple PSOCs are explored in two macro, territorial settings and a subcommunity of one of these settings: a job training and education center for underserved women in Baltimore City. Exploration of multiple PSOCs at the macro- and subcommunity levels expands our conceptualization of the operation of PSOC and has real-life implications for fostering positive outcomes in multicultural communities. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPontificia Universidad Católica de ChilePsykhe (Santiago) v.13 n.2 20042004-11-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0718-22282004000200015en10.4067/S0718-22282004000200015
