The current paper is an attempt to explore the effectiveness of a training program proposed for developing love and tolerance and reducing violence among secondary school students. To this end, the study was conducted on a survey sample of 80 subjects, secondary school students, enrolled in the second year at the Libyan Secondary school Al Najm al Satea. In addition, there was another sample consisting of 20 secondary school students. The study sample was divided into two groups: the experimental and the control group’ each of which contained 10 students. As far as the methodology is concerned, the study was based on the empirical method. It further adopted various scales: The Love Scale (introduced by Najia Rahouma El Bassir 2018, and modified by the authors of the current research), the Tolerance Scale (proposed by Taha Mattar El Shemarry 2018, and modified by the authors), Family Socio-Cultural Form (introduced by the authors), and a training program for developing love and tolerance and reducing violence among high school students (introduced by the authors). The findings of the study reported the effectiveness of the proposed program which aimed at promoting love and tolerance and reducing violence among high school students. The findings also revealed the continuing impact of the effectiveness of the program under consideration. The authors recommended that the Ministry of Education pay particular attention to nurturing love and tolerance through developing training and guidance programs, holding awareness seminars as an integral part of the educational process, and involving both students and teachers in these events in given their impact on both the individual and society.
