• Revisiting the Sense of Community Index : a confirmatory factor analysis (2004, methodology): “Table 5 presents a comparison of the revised factor structure with results from previous exploratory factor analyses (Chipuer & Pretty, 1999; Obst et al., 2002b).”
• On children's independent mobility: the interplay of demographic, environmental, and psychosocial factors (2012, background): “Furthermore, as demonstrated by the findings summarized above, sense of community would be stronger in small cities or in rural towns than in contexts with a greater degree of urbanization (Obst et al. 2002, Roussi et al. 2006), while our study revealed the opposite.”
• Sense of place amongst adolescents and adults in two rural Australian towns: The discriminating features of place attachment, sense of community and place dependence in relation to place identity (2003, methodology): “Further to conceptual measurement issues, our work has begun to incorporate methods from social identity and self categorisation domains as suggested by Obst et al (2002).”
• Choosing to belong: The influence of choice on social identification and psychological sense of community (2007, methodology): “Thus, the findings of the current research support and strengthen those of Obst et al. (2002) and Compas (1981). Taken together, these results evidence the changing nature of community.”
• Psychological sense of community and its relevance to well-being and everyday life in Australia: a position paper of the Australian Psychological Society (2006, background): “Most of these are for residential community research and consultation (Buckner, 1988; Davidson & Cotter, 1986; Glynn, 1986; Obst et al., 2002; Puddifoot, 2003), and can explore sense of community at various levels or layers of structure (Brodsky & Marx, 2001).”
