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.

Keywords:

adolescents, destructive information, ideological immunity, critical thinking,

psychological development, emotional regulation, cognitive resilience, social support,

psychological well-being, information literacy, educational interventions.

Introduction.

In today's era of globalization, the influence of information on the human mind

and psyche is becoming an increasingly urgent problem. The impact of destructive information

on human psychology, especially on the minds of young people, can negatively affect their

social adaptation and mental state. Therefore, the prevention of such information and the

development of psychocorrectional measures against it are an important issue.

Psychocorrectional approaches to combating destructive information in Uzbekistan are mainly

focused on the following areas:

1. Prevention through education and upbringing - Instilling the skills of critical perception of

information in children's minds, starting from preschool institutions.

2. Media and social media monitoring – Analyzing and monitoring content on social media to

prevent the spread of harmful information among young people.

3. Psychological services – Strengthen psychological services in schools and universities, and

teach young people psychological protection methods.

4. Strengthening religious and cultural values - Building immunity against harmful influences

through the development of moral education based on national values.

In different countries of the world, there are different approaches to preventing destructive

information and psychocorrectional work. Among them, the following stand out:

1. USA - Increasing youth immunity to harmful information through "Media Literacy"

programs.

2. The European Union has introduced the principles of controlling the flow of information and

rational use of information based on the "Digital Well-being" concept.

3. Russia - Within the framework of the "Information Safety" program, measures have been

developed to prevent the spread of harmful information among young people.

4. China - has a strong censorship system against harmful content on the Internet and social

media, as well as psychological rehabilitation centers.

Psychocorrectional work on destructive information should be carried out not only at the

individual, but also at the societal level. Analyzing local and foreign experiences, developing

effective strategies against information attacks and teaching young people to use information

consciously is one of the important tasks of today. President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.

Mirziyoyev - “Another important issue that always worries us is related to the morality, behavior,

in a word, worldview of our youth. Today time intensity with is changing. These changes who

feels more than anyone else who is the youth ? Okay, youth own of the era requirements with

harmonious Let it be. But the same at the time Let's not forget who we are, what we are like. of

the great ones our generation, invitation there in the heart always echo giving, to oneself loyal to

stay prompt let it be.

Theoretical and practical analysis of the activities of destructive religious, cultural, extremist and

terrorist movements and groups that negatively affect the stability of the Republic of Uzbekistan,

or rather its social and spiritual development, and the definition, classification, and definition of

the genesis, essence and content of the concepts of destructive groups and ideas based on

existing scientific theories, and the creation of a specific socio-psychological basis for preventing

young people from falling under the influence of these ideas are currently one of the important

tasks facing psychology, pedagogy and all social and humanitarian sciences. This issue, namely

the problem of young people falling under the influence of destructive ideas, has not been a

separate object of research. In this regard, the socio-psychological study of the causes of the

emergence of destructive ideas and groups, the expansion of their scope of activity is currently of

urgent theoretical and practical importance.

A special place is occupied by research aimed at identifying socio-psychological factors of

theoretical and methodological approaches that explain important aspects of psychocorrectional

training aimed at reducing the negative impact of destructive information on the minds of young

people.

When evaluating the results of a test conducted on the basis of a questionnaire consisting of 88

questions according to the Shmishek methodology, after determining the answers to each

question, the primary scores of the questions corresponding to the 10 scales are calculated

separately (the scale to which this question belongs is indicated at the end of the question).

Numbers with a “ -” sign are assigned a score of 1 if the test taker's “no” answer is correct.

The primary scores obtained according to the scale are multiplied by the coefficient indicated in

In fact, socio-psychological training is the theory and practice of psychotherapeutic and

psychocorrectional influence on people, through which the individual's maturity as a person,

change and adaptability to various life situations are ensured, and through training, the

competence of a person to take the right direction and understand himself based on his

interaction with others is increased.

One of the most reliable and effective forms of socio-psychological training is individual and, at

the same time, corporate training, which is a unique psychological impact technology that serves

to effectively establish interpersonal relationships, both individually and in a medium-sized

group setting, both in working with the respondent.

In essence, corporate training is based on the concepts of "solving the emerging problem in an

organized manner based on scientific principles" and "applying the experience of the people,

collective knowledge and culture in solving the problem." Its meaning is derived from the Latin

word "corporatio", which means "union", "association".

wrong that means. A corporation is a kind of organized group, the main feature of which is

maximum unity, recognition of the authority of the group leader and following his opinion in the

interests of the group, readiness to solve the set goals, objectives, tasks in an organized and

consultative manner. Each idea expressed in the group is considered valuable, and each member

accepts it from the point of view of his own and the interests of the group. Accordingly, when

discussions, disputes, problems arise in the team or groups regarding the issue being sought for a

solution, corporate training means an activity as a means of determining a strategy for achieving

a single goal in a way that directs the whole group to the goal and is divided into several groups.

In this study, we set the practical goal of testing the ideas of achieving a single goal by adhering

to group values through such effective and organized groups in a group of teenage students

whose behavior is forming criminal motives. In the current era of globalization and the

development of digital technologies, the minds of adolescents are influenced by various

information flows. Therefore, protecting them from the influence of harmful, that is, destructive

information is one of the important tasks. The formation of ideological immunity ensures that

young people are not exposed to harmful information, have the ability to think independently and

analyze reality. Destructive information is information that contains incorrect information that

negatively affects a person's mental state, worldview and behavior.

The methodology for determining "masculinity - femininity" is a methodology developed on the

basis of the "masculinity - femininity" scale taken from the Freiburg personality questionnaire,

the Kellerman-Plutchik questionnaire is a methodology aimed at determining the psychological

defense mechanisms of the individual's "I", and the Shmishek method for determining character

accentuation based on the K. Leonhard methodology. The socio-psychological factors of the

formation of ideological immunity to destructive information in adolescents according to We

conducted research.

Conclusion.

The formation of ideological immunity against destructive information in

adolescents is a critical area of research, given the increasing exposure of young individuals to

harmful or manipulative content. Empirical studies indicate that adolescents' ability to resist

destructive information is shaped by a combination of cognitive, emotional, and social factors.

The development of critical thinking skills, emotional resilience, and a strong support network

plays a significant role in enhancing their ability to evaluate and reject harmful content.

Furthermore, educational interventions aimed at promoting information literacy and providing

psychological support are essential in fostering ideological immunity. By strengthening these

protective mechanisms, adolescents can be better equipped to navigate the complexities of the

digital age and safeguard their psychological and emotional well-being.
