Yet in rural tourism destinations, the pathway through which community participation is translated into residents\u2019 perceived quality of life remains insufficiently clarified. This study examines the relationships between community participation and residents\u2019 sense of gain, happiness, and security, and further tests the mediating role of collective psychological ownership and the moderating role of government trust. Using 536 valid questionnaires collected from five rural tourism villages in Guizhou Province, China, the study analyzes the data with SPSS 22.0 and SmartPLS 3.0. The results indicate that (1) community participation is positively associated with residents\u2019 sense of gain, happiness, and security; (2) collective psychological ownership mediates these relationships; (3) government trust strengthens the positive association between community participation and collective psychological ownership. These findings enriches the theoretical perspective on community participation and provides practical insights into improving rural residents\u2019 sense of gain, happiness, and security.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1764190","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]],"date-time":"2026-08-07T04:22:05Z","timestamp":1786076525000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Community participation and rural residents\u2019 sense of gain, happiness, and security: the mediating role of collective psychological ownership"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jianchun","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business Administration, Guizhou University of Finance and Economics","place":["Guiyang, Guizhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengya","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business Administration, Guizhou University of Finance and Economics","place":["Guiyang, Guizhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Kou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business Administration, Guizhou University of Finance and Economics","place":["Guiyang, Guizhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Economy and Finance, Guizhou University of Commerce","place":["Guiyang, Guizhou, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18010016","article-title":"Do informal social ties and local festival participation relate to subjective well-being?","volume":"18","author":"Ahn","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int.
