Abstract: Although the study of social cohesion in divided and (post‐)conflict societies has grown steadily within social psychology over the past decades, researchers also argue that addressing social cohesion is a complex task due to its multidimensional and multilevel nature. With this special thematic section, we aim to advance the understanding of the dynamics of social cohesion across contexts marked by deep social divisions and intergroup tensions where achieving social cohesion can be particularly challenging. We also seek to showcase research examining different dimensions of social cohesion and explore how such analyses can inform efforts to foster cohesion and improve intra‐ and intergroup relations. This special thematic section brings together nine empirical articles, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative methods, conducted in diverse, divided and (post‐)conflict contexts, and incorporating both majority and minority groups' perspectives. Together, these contributions highlight the factors that can foster or hinder social cohesion within specific societies. By building on the findings from these contributions, we outline avenues for future research to further advance knowledge on social cohesion in divided and (post‐)conflict societies.
