AB - A major focus of the article is the idea that activity settings are in part social constructions of the participants. The socially constructed “meaning” of an activity setting is a complex mix of ecological, cultural, interactional, and psychological features. These features may be observed and assessed, directly and indirectly, in terms of personnel, cultural values, tasks, scripts for conduct, and motives and purposes of actors. Empirical illustrations and extensions to community psychology are drawn from research with different populations: Native Hawaiian children and families, Spanish‐speaking children and Mexican and Central American immigrant parents, Euro‐American families with a developmentally delayed child, and Euro‐American families who intentionally adopted nonconventional child‐rearing values and practices.
