School shootings of various forms are becoming regular. One of the last such events dead In Bryansk: A female student came to school with a firearm, injured many people and committed suicide. Dean of the Faculty of Extreme Psychology of Moscow Psychological and Pedagogical University, psychologist, says that such crimes can be explained by external influence on a teenager, the replacement of a large part of real social contacts with virtual ones and confusion of consciousness. Dmitry Deulin told socialbites.ca about this.
“An indirect factor in a teenager’s decision to commit a school shooting is the informational “intoxication” of the teenager’s consciousness via the Internet. Young people are atomized, their real social contact is minimized, they are increasingly moving online, which creates a real problem in their socialization, which prevents the development of conflict-free communication skills,” Deulin explained.
Also important is the confusion factor of many modern teenagers; Their interests may not be expressed and their goal setting may be impaired. According to the psychologist, this aggravates the problem, since in most cases we are talking about a period of adolescence crisis.
Also contributing are underage criminal organizations that are engaged in external “direction” of social and economic processes occurring in society.
“Unfortunately, our opponents do not sleep and can carry out so-called special psychological operations in this region. In this context, “psychological sabotage” is most conveniently carried out remotely via the Internet, using the psychological profile of the account to find suitable young people and persuade them to commit this type of crime,” Deulin concluded.
