Abstract
AbstractWhile much of the research conceptualizes peacebuilding via exo-or macrosystemic lenses, in more recent years, a number of researchers (e. g. , Blumberg, Hare, & Costin, 2006; Kool, 2008) have argued that nurturing peace within the individual is a prerequisite toward peacebuilding on a larger ecological scale. This chapter develops a theoretical framework for understanding the practice of peacefulness through the lens of intrapersonal, protective socioemotional skills including mindful awareness, emotion regulation, and compassion.
