Zusammenfassung: <jats:title>Significance</jats:title><jats:p>Most people embroiled in violent intergroup conflict have sincere desires for peace. Yet, we show that, even in its abstract form, the concept of peace encompasses different interpretations, each influenced by the perceiver’s experiences of conflict, and each shaping the way in which the perceiver thinks about conflict resolution. Using original data collected in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, we provide insights about how lay theories of peace are associated with the power structure of the conflict and how they predict citizens’ preferences for solving their long-standing dispute by either dividing resources or sharing them.</jats:p>
