Recent articles have endorsed a shift toward a more explicit focus on social changeTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity
and power (Itzhaky & York. 2003; Mulvey et al., 2000; Speer. 2000; Speer el al., 2003). Prilleltensky's article (this issue) takes that argument to itEcological and Psycho-political Validity 1Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political ValidityBy:Brian Ch Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityto which research addresses power issues and interventions engage in structural change. Psycho-political validity is a critical articulation of community psychology's earliest values and its recognition that mental health and wellbeing are necessarily tied to social and political change.A change as Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityfundamental as proposed by Prilleltensky requires both thorough elaboration and exploration of the implications of the proposed shift in focus. This aTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity
rticle contributes to those goals first by viewing psychopolitical validity within the context of various ecological domains, levels, and processes, wEcological and Psycho-political Validity 1Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political ValidityBy:Brian Ch Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityeen knowledge and power. We then propose participatory action research as a paradigm that should be more widely and fully used by community researchers. Transdisciplinary collaborations and multi-level analyses would help strengthen this approach.Ecological Validity as a Necessary Concomitant to Psy Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validitycho-political ValidityEcological theories have provided a set of guiding principles and keyEcological and Psycho-political Validity 5values for communTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity
ity psychology since its earliest influences (Heller et al., 1984; Kelly, 1966; Levine, Perkins & Perkins, in press; Mann, 1978). The tendency has beeEcological and Psycho-political Validity 1Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political ValidityBy:Brian Ch Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityly and systematically to community research.The concept of ecological validity refers most narrowly to the degree to which the definition of a unit of analysis reflects the way that unit is defined in real life by people or natural features (Perkins, Florin. Rich, Wandersman, & Chavis. 1990). For ex Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityample, a neighborhood defined by the boundaries and name used by people who live there is more ecologically valid than a census tract used as a proxyTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity
for the neighborhood.A broader, more fundamental use of ecological validity is the idea that research should attend fully and carefully to the many coEcological and Psycho-political Validity 1Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political ValidityBy:Brian Ch Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityamic context of capturing change over time. These are analogous to the different forms of capital that have been applied to community development projects and policies (Perkins, Crim, Silberman, & Brown, 2004).Prilleltensky's argument for psycho-political validity is important as a general critique Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityand vision for community psychology. Its generality is also a limitation in that it is decontextualized. His framework includes the personal, relationTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity
al, and collective levels of analysis, but they are not clearly or thoroughly articulated. (Prilleltensky refers to these as "domains," but we think iEcological and Psycho-political Validity 1Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political ValidityBy:Brian Ch Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity the environment and different disciplines, see below).The relational level is particularly ambiguous, or at least broad, as it could mean anything from social perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals, dyads, or groups to organizations, networks, and potentially to complex inter-institut Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validityional relations, although there is less specificity in the paper about those higher levels. We recommend either clearly separating the informal relatiTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity

Levels of analysis must be made clear and specific. As shown in the vertical axis of the three-dimensional Figure 1, similar to Prilleltensky (this issue) and Bronfenbrenner (1979) and others, we suggest at least three key levels: First is the individual (or personal or p Transdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validitysychological- emotional, cognitive, behavioral, spiritual). At the individual level, we would more explicitly add interpersonal micro-systemic relatioTransdisciplinary, Multilevel Action Research to Enhance Ecological and Psycho-political Validity
