PSYCHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF VITALITY IN HYBRID WAR

Abstract

The article provides an overview of hybrid war, psychological stability and related issues that people and communities face. Social security regarding the psychological consequences of hybrid threats was reviewed in this article. Based on scientific sources, we have identified that stability is the overriding concept of security policy. Stability refers to the ability of a person to cope with troubles – to resume and return to normal activity after confronting an abnormal, alarming and often unexpected threat.

The article presents an analysis of the concept of McAslan’s stability, which includes seven characteristics of stability. The article’s purpose is to conduct an empirical study of the stability and style of self-regulation of servicemen’s behavior.

Methods. For the study of compliance with the pressures we used the Stability test (D.O. Leontiev, E.I. Rasskazov). To diagnose the style of self-regulation of personality, we used the questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior” (V.I. Morosanov).

Results. In an empirical study, we found that in the group of subjects with a below-average viability level, 66% of cases had a low level of overall self-regulation, and a high level of compliance with the pressures was characteristic of 34% of the subjects.

A high level of overall self-regulation was found in the group of respondents with a higher average survival rate than average of 76%, with only 24% being low. Therefore, the lower the level of sustainability, the lower the level of overall self-regulation, and vice versa.

Conclusions. We have determined that military personnel who are above average resilient, flexibly and adequately respond to changing conditions of service, easily master new types of activity, feel more confident in unfamiliar situations. The success of mastering new activities in such subjects depends to a large extent on the correspondence of the style features of regulation and the requirements of the type of activity being mastered.

They often have difficulty in defining a goal and program of action appropriate to the current situation; they do not always notice changes in the situation, which often leads to setbacks.
