Description
Vivian Liu and co-authors study youth growth and peacebuilding in Colombia in a 2026 paper. Positive youth development stresses strengths, well being, and agency in young people. Colombia's long conflict makes youth roles in building peace a pressing topic. Survey data covered teens and young adults at two time points.
Four traits defined youth development in the study, from self control beliefs to civic duty. Two profiles emerged: youth high on all traits and youth low on all. Beliefs about peace roles were sorted by level, from personal ties to broad culture. Civic duty linked to stronger beliefs about personal level peace roles in the models.
