In the psychology context, "citizenship" extends beyond its traditional legal definition of a person's status as a member of a particular country. It encompasses the psychological sense of belonging, participation, and engagement individuals experience within their community or society. This concept reflects how people perceive their role and responsibilities as members of a community, and how this perception influences their behavior, attitudes, and social interactions. Psychological citizenship can involve aspects of identity, social connectedness, civic engagement, and the internalization of community values and norms.
