Abstract

The article presents the results of the author's research at the intersection of political and experimental psychology. The purpose of this study: experimental identification of the patterns of functioning of the political consciousness of modern Russians and the features of its influence on the extremist orientation of the individual to support and make appropriate management decisions. Based on a combination of existential and psychosemantic approaches, a model of political consciousness has been developed, which includes three levels. Particular attention is paid to the mental level of political consciousness, its further research is carried out in accordance with the realities in the political life of Russia. The resulting model is empirically verified with the help of a psychodiagnostic questionnaire "Cultural Code" specially developed for this task. The data obtained in the course of two experimental sections are analyzed using standard methods of mathematical statistics, as well as using the theory of fuzzy sets and simulation modeling. This makes it possible to build cognitive models of political consciousness and functional states of the subject. In particular, to model the state of a subject with an extremist ideology and an extremist personality orientation and the state of a subject with a positive ideology and a prosocial personality orientation. Further, the obtained results form the basis of a computational experiment. The results of the study confirm the relevance of the developed psychodiagnostic tools, constructed theoretical constructs and cognitive models. In the field of practical activities and prevention of socially dangerous behavior, this means the need for systematic and integrated work of state and public organizations aimed at strengthening the spectrum of traditionalism and patriotism in the political consciousness of modern Russians, and weakening radicalism and nationalism.
