Prior literature has shown that arts & humanities (A&H) engagement enhances flourishing; however, much of the existing literature has focused primarily on White American samples, creating a lack of evidence around the impacts of A&H on Black American flourishing. Furthermore, despite significant evidence demonstrating the impact of the arts on psychological, physical, and interpersonal flourishing, there is a lack of evidence focusing on the relationship between A&H and other key flourishing dimensions, such as transcendent or collective flourishing, that are salient within Black American communities. A scoping review was conducted to provide a comprehensive summary of literature connecting A&H to Black American flourishing across psychological, physical, interpersonal, collective, and transcendent dimensions of flourishing. Results: of this scoping review ( n = 114 studies) revealed nuanced relationships between A&H engagement in Black Americans, including the impact of culturally relevant A&H engagement. Additionally, the review identified gaps in the literature regarding the study of the impact of A&H on transcendent flourishing in this population.

通过艺术和人文学科探索美国黑人的繁荣：范围界定回顾


先前的文献表明，艺术与人文（A&H）的参与促进了繁荣;然而，许多现有文献主要集中在美国白人样本上，因此缺乏关于 A&H 对美国黑人繁荣影响的证据。此外，尽管有大量证据表明艺术对心理、身体和人际关系繁荣的影响，但缺乏关注 A&H 与其他关键繁荣维度之间的关系，例如超然或集体繁荣，这些维度在美国黑人社区中很突出。进行了范围审查，以提供将 A&H 与美国黑人繁荣联系起来的文献的全面总结，涵盖心理、身体、人际关系、集体和繁荣的超然维度。结果：本范围审查（n = 114 项研究）揭示了美国黑人 A&H 参与之间的细微关系，包括文化相关 A&H 参与的影响。此外，该审查还确定了文献中关于 A&H 对该人群超然繁荣影响的研究空白。
