Abstract

Peace psychology for a peaceful world is a new trend in the latest twenty years in psychology field. It went through incubation period, initiation period and foundation period. Nowadays there are three most influential theoretical models：Three-dimensional Peace Theory Model, Peaceful Selfhood Model, and Positive Peace Processes Multilevel Model. Peace psychology has restored the peace value in psychology field and enlarged research vision. For further development, peace psychology needs a theoretical breakthrough from capitalist system improvement to the Marxism perspective. It needs more integration with positive psychology and social psychology. It also needs to conduct more empirical studies into social life. There will be a brighter future for peace psychology based on a wide framework under a cross-cultural context in a multi methodological perspective. Based on the analysis of Chinese current situation of diplomacy, military and domestic development, it will be highly practical to implement further research on peaceful diplomacy psychology, peaceful societal building at the transforming age in Chinese context.
