The Psychology
of Peace and Violence Concentration at the University of
Massachusetts Amherst is designed to facilitate research and
intervention regarding group relations and conflict. We are
especially interested in understanding why group relations
become hostile and how to promote cooperation and peaceful
resolution.
The Concentration trains
doctoral students in basic social psychological theory and research
with an emphasis on translating this work for policy and
application. Students also complete field internships and
participate in interdisciplinary seminars to broaden their experiences
and integrate multiple perspectives toward improving group relations.
