- 요약In societies ravaged by conflict, younger generations are often invoked as critical to building peace. Policies and programs, drawing on research, tend to focus on external factors and interventions associated with prosocial or violent outcomes. Less attention has been paid to young people's psychological processes in these settings, and specifically how they interpret, make meaning, and respond to norms, discourses, and expectations. In this dissertation, I outline a framework for the development of identities as peace builders and then demonstrate its utility with an investigation of Colombian adolescents. The scant research on young people's ideas about peace lacks a clear framework situating meaning making within broader identity development. Yet, meaning making-how individuals, embedded in social ecologies, interpret and process key conceptual ideas-is linked to identities and actions as citizens, which in turn influence societal trajectories. This connection guides the development of a new theoretical concept: conceptualized peace. Conceptualized peace draws on Moscovici's Social Representations Theory (SRT) and Spencer's Phenomenological Variant of the Ecological Systems Theory (PVEST) to frame how individuals' meaning making relates to identity-based outcomes as members of communities and societies. Using this foundation, conceptualized peace delineates developmental processes in individuals' understandings of peace, the possibility of a peaceful future, and their own role in peace building. Each person draws on social discourse and personal experiences to conceptualize what peace is and how they can contribute (or not) to it.This framework is applied to Colombian adolescents. The country has recently undergone a peace process to end over fifty years of internal warfare. These efforts have included a focus on promoting young people's agency as peacebuilders. Within this context, the study asks, what are the official discourses about youth and peace that are being broadcasted to adolescents by the Colombian government
