The division is a young
organization that welcomes professionals and students who wish
to contribute to peace. It welcomes diverse international
perspectives and ethnic and gender orientations to peace. The
purpose of the division is to increase and apply psychological
knowledge in the pursuit of peace. Peace here is defined broadly
to include both the absence of war and the creation of positive
social conditions which minimize destructive conflicts and
promote human well-being.
