Intent analysis has become the main method in the study of the effects on the individual, and elements of content analysis of media texts (text, image, video, creolized texts) have also been involved. On the basis of their own research, the authors of the article have made an attempt to work out a strategic plan of work to identify extremism and outline the main modern strategies of anti-extremism at the intersection of linguistics and psychology. Studies have shown that a special role in the prevention of extremism is given to media resources, and specifically to mass media.
