A SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL MODEL FOR FORMING IDEOLOGICAL IMMUNITY IN MILITARY SERVICE PERSONNEL

Abstract

The article develops a socio-philosophical model for forming ideological immunity in military service personnel against destructive influences in cyberspace. It identifies a "protection gap": military protective resources operate in real space, while destructive influence occurs in virtual space, which the serviceman enters individually. The model rests on inoculation theory, the social- cognitive approach, and the three-component structure of ideological immunity (cognitive, axiological, behavioural). Empirical testing (N = 271) showed that category of service does not predetermine immunity level, so differentiation proceeds by individual level and by service category. The model comprises four circuits (diagnostic, cognitive, axiological, behavioural), operates cyclically, and is implemented through institutional, methodological and personnel lines, including a four-module programme based on Kolb's experiential learning cycle.
