Modeling the Practice of Aggression in the Socio-Cyber-Physical Environment

The modern information society builds new forms of communication and forms a space for social relations with the help of the latest means and technologies of communication. This contributes to a number of social and psychological effects: formation of new forms of aggressive behavior, psychological pressure, creation of destructive groups, etc. The article discusses the task of modeling the phenomena of aggression in the socio-cyber-physical environment and studying their influence on the individual and group consciousness of users to develop the provision and creation of a socio-cyber-physical system for managing these processes. The simulation of aggression is required in connection with the need to build a system of control based on an understanding of the mechanisms of aggression launching in the electronic communication. The development of the model involves a theoretical generalization of cross-disciplinary approaches to the analysis of the content of the socio-cyber-physical environment and the formation of concrete recommendations for the detection, recognition and management of destructive effects to individual and mass consciousness. The study was carried out within the framework of a system-functional approach using methods of modeling, experiment, focus groups, content analysis. Electronic communication is considered in its systemic importance to society, and aggression is presented as a phenomenon of meaning and value for social interaction. The study created a classification of user types, established criteria for compliance of the real and virtual user in different types of user practices, established a link between the frequency of application of abnormal and normative aggressive content and the type of profile, identified grounds for the modeling of aggression practices. The results of the study show that it is individual consciousness that serves as the purpose of manipulation within the framework of new forms of communication in the socio-cyber-physical environment. Conclusions were drawn on the impact of technical conditions for communication in socio-cyber-physical reality on the formation of aggression and the high role of anonymity in the practice of aggressive behavior.
