Abstract

This article highlights the peculiarities of information psychological security. The concept of psychological protection in the narrow sense leads to a special change in the content of consciousness as a result of the action of a number of defense mechanisms: amplification, projection, identification, regression, isolation, rationalization, conversion and others. The action of these protective mechanisms does not increase the adequacy of human behavior and information-orienting barriers of his system of subject-human relations, and in some cases may reduce their adequacy. Such an interpretation, formed within the bounds of a psychoanalytic approach, focuses on the neutralization of internal factors, which are usually ambiguous, but are usually caused by external influences. In such cases, barriers to the direct limitation of external influences, such as psychological manipulations of information and communication interactions at the social, socio-group, interpersonal levels, are neglected. The place and role of information psychological security in the life of human society is analyzed philosophically.
