DESCRIPTION:Youth can play a central role in promoting positive intergroup
  relations and advancing constructive engagement in conflict and divided s
 ocieties. Their potential as agents of change\, however\, remains relative
 ly under-explored in the research literature on prejudice reduction and co
 llective action within social psychology. Drawing on theoretical models\, 
 including the empathy-attitudes-action model\, social identity theory and 
 intergroup contact theory\, I present an ongoing programme of research tha
 t examines the factors that influence youth intergroup relations in divide
 d societies and explores how\, when\, and why youth engage in or demonstra
 te positive intentions towards constructive action- at the interpersonal\,
  collective\, and structural levels. In doing so\, I consider the interpla
 y of individual and contextual influences in promoting positive intergroup
  attitudes and societal engagement among youth\, and reflect on the implic
 ations of this research for current scientific understanding and practice.
