STRUCTURAL AND CONTENT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONCEPT OF YOUTH EXTREMISM IN THE SEMANTIC SPACE OF RUNET. PART II

The article is devoted to the problems of psychology of youth extremism in modern society. It is a continuation of the author's analysis on this issue. The object of the research is the concept of youth extremism, the subject is its structural and informative characteristics. The aim of the study is to identify and systematize the structural and informative characteristics of the concept of youth extremism, reflected in the Russianlanguage Internet resources available for indexing by search engines. The presented research model is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach consisting in productive eclecticism of interpenetration and mutual agreement of the a priori postulates of various disciplinary models – general psychological theory of subjectivity and the theory of personality, cultural and linguistic models. The research methodology consists in a frequency-thematic analysis of the conjugacy of the term «extremism» with the results of discursive practices presented in the Runet. The paper introduces the results of the analysis of emotional-axiological semantic concepts in the context of the display of youth extremism in the information field of the Runet. As a result of a psycholinguistic experiment analyzing the discursive practices of youth extremism, 14 axiological (evaluative) oppositions were revealed as semantic concepts in the informational field of Runet, which allow displaying the cultural and ideological background of interpretations of extremism by various actors. Through an analysis of discursive practices indirectly the authors have identified the trends, determinants and factors in formation of extremist attitudes of youth. The results can serve as the basis for development of socio-psychological and educational means of counteracting youth extremism in the conditions of progress of information and computer technologies.
