THE EMPIRICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE FORMATION OF IDEOLOGICAL IMMUNITY AGAINST DESTRUCTIVE INFORMATION IN ADOLESCENTS.

Аннотация

This article explores the empirical foundations of the formation of ideological immunity against destructive information in adolescents. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to various forms of external influence due to their ongoing cognitive, emotional, and social development. The rapid spread of information, particularly destructive or manipulative content, has become a significant concern for their psychological well-being. The concept of ideological immunity refers to the ability of individuals to resist and critically evaluate harmful or misleading information, thereby protecting their worldview and personal identity. The paper examines various empirical studies and theories regarding the development of ideological immunity in adolescents, focusing on the psychological, social, and educational factors that contribute to strengthening this immunity. It also explores the role of critical thinking, emotional regulation, and social support systems in protecting adolescents from the negative effects of destructive information.
