Abstract: Many young people across the world are growing up in high conflict societies where social and political tensions continue to dominate everyday life. This article provides an overview of youth development in high conflict settings, drawing on evidence from a wide range of conflict societies. It considers: (1) how growing up in a high conflict setting can be detrimental to youth development, (2) the buffering factors that can promote positive development and prosociality for youth in high conflict settings, and (3) approaches to reducing cycles of violence for youth growing up in high conflict settings.
