peace psychology

Peace psychology is a field that studies how to promote harmony and resolve conflicts within and between individuals, communities, and nations. It explores the psychological factors that contribute to violence, hatred, and misunderstanding, as well as those that foster empathy, forgiveness, and cooperation. The goal is to understand human behavior related to peace and to develop strategies—such as education, dialogue, and conflict resolution—to build more peaceful, just, and harmonious societies. It combines insights from psychology, social sciences, and peace studies to help create sustainable peace on multiple levels.
