Youth empowerment (YE) receives preferential attention in socio-educational practice and research due to the need to understand the processes that enable young people to empower themselves. Improving YE requires creating the right conditions and contexts for opportunities while ensuring equality and equity. The context and community in which youth empowerment takes place play a key role. However, academic literature has not systematically analyzed the relationship between YE and community. This article conducts a systematic literature review from 2012-2022 to examine the conceptual and methodological connections between youth empowerment and community. It identifies a diversity of concepts and practices highlighting youth participation and leadership. Six pedagogical principles for facilitating youth empowerment in community contexts are inferred. Empowerment processes between a community and its youth tend to be two-way. Finally, there is a need for further research on youth empowerment processes in community settings

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities urges the effective promotion of community participation among individuals with disabilities. This article presents the development of an analytical model for community participation of individuals with intellectual disabilities, undertaken in two phases: literature review and validation through the assessment of 15 experts affiliated with service providers. The outcome is a graphical model that describes an individual’s community participation, linking them to relational dimensions and thereby proposing their potential for social inclusion. This model can be utilized in social policy to assess a territory’s potential for community participation of individuals with intellectual disabilities and it enhances the proposal of actions when defining support systems to ensure accessibility and community participation

Social axioms or general social beliefs represent people’s cognitive map of their social world acquired through social experiences. Empirical research has related the central constructs in the study of psychology and social axioms, establishing a broad nomological network in various cultural settings. This paper studies the validity of the Social Axioms Survey II (SASII) short form, Spanish version, on the individual level in Melilla as North Africa´s borderland. Participants were 410 high school students from 14 to 18 years of age. The reliability analysis, the discriminant validity analysis, and the confirmatory factor analysis through the structural model equation, showed similar results to previous studies in other contexts and allowing the use of the survey in Melilla. In addition it is presented a fitted model that improves the psychometric results showing significant differences with the initial model. The confirmatory multi-group analysis of the fitted model shows measurement invariance across educational centers, allowing new research possibilities in the cultural context of Melilla

Previous research has generally found that providing specific research evidence about concrete improvements in the development of field work promotes the achievement of social impact during the research process itself (Aiello et al., 2021). This result opens as a prospective for further research to specify which scientific evidences can promote this impact in the different research topics, as well as the methodological aspects that will facilitate it. In research on gender violence, some of these evidences have already been identified¿for example, the mirage of upward mobility (Oliver, 2010-2012). However, the methodological aspects that will determine, when exposing such evidence, the social impact obtained during the research process have not been analyzed. In this sense, in the FREE TEEN DESIRE project, sharing this evidence with the participants using the language of desire has promoted transformations. This language of desire must be incorporated from its reality, being the result of a construction between the researcher and the participants. Its incorporation is enhanced if it is done in the context of Dialogic Feminist Gatherings (DFG). And, throughout the process, the researcher must adopt a role in which, among other things, she or he makes visible any attitude linked to violence when it becomes unattractive, as well as making visible the language of desire that is being constructed with respect to egalitarian relationships. The social impact of this research methodology was evidenced by the fact that after participating in DFG on the mirage of upward mobility, the girls' intention to have a sporadic relationship with a boy with violent attitudes decreased (Puigvert, 2016)
