Abstract

Peace is an interdisciplinary subject matter. Peace is
mostly studied and addressed in the fields such as international relations,
political sciences, psychology, sociology and educational sciences. It is
essential to present psychological foundations of peace besides psychological
theories of peace since peace occupies such a broad field. The aim of the
current study is to introduce the historical development and psychological
approaches to peace. Review approach was adopted in this study as it is based
on literature review. In the end of the study, the researcher addressed
psychological approaches to peace and the places of these approaches in the
literature in the course of history. The current study is thought to redound to
the literature in the way that it will raise awareness about peace and peace
psychology.

Abstract

Barış, disiplinler arası bir çalışma konusudur. Barış; uluslararası ilişkiler, siyaset bilimi, psikoloji, sosyoloji ve eğitim bilimleri gibi alanlarda ağırlıklı olarak çalışılmaktadır. Bu denli geniş bir çalışma alanı olan barış konusunun psikolojik temellerinin ve barışa yönelik psikolojik kuramların ortaya konulması gerekmektedir. Mevcut çalışmanın amacı, barış psikolojisinin tarihsel gelişimini ve barışa yönelik psikolojik yaklaşımları ortaya koymaktır.  Bu çalışma, literatür taramasına dayalı olarak yürütülen bir derleme çalışmasıdır. Çalışma sonucunda barış psikolojisi kapsamında ortaya konulan kuramlar ele alınmış ve tarihsel gelişim içinde bu kuramların literatürdeki yerleri ortaya konulmuştur. Çalışmanın, en çok ihtiyaç duyulan zamanda Türkiye’de barış ve barış psikolojisi ile ilgili farkındalığın artırılmasına katkı sağlayacağı beklenmektedir.
