There are presented the results of a study of the transformation of social processes in modern society connected with the formation and escalation of destructive manifestations of terrorism in the article. There is reflected the approach to understanding the essence of terrorism based on the authors’ concept of intrapersonal conflict. Initially, authors identify the psychological preconditions for manifestations of terrorism that were based on the results of a cross-cultural monitoring analysis with coverage of more than 1930 respondents. At the second stage, on the empirical sample of more than 300 subjects, authors distinguish a spectrum of qualities that ensure personal confrontation and stabilization in a multicultural field. Psychological security is defined as a condition for ensuring the prevention of terrorism and the formation of a multicultural identity. The issues of prevention and neutralization of terrorist tendencies are considered on the basis of actualization of such mechanisms of personal psychological security’s insurance as harmonization, emotional stability and protective strategies.

Psychological Similarity

Psychological research in small-scale societies is crucial for what it stands to tell us about human psychological diversity. However, people in these communities, typically Indigenous communities in the global South, have been underrepresented and sometimes misrepresented in psychological research. Here I discuss the promises and pitfalls of psychological research in these communities, reviewing why they have been of interest to social scientists and how cross-cultural comparisons have been used to test psychological hypotheses. I consider factors that may be undertheorized in our research, such as political and economic marginalization, and how these might influence our data and conclusions. I argue that more just and accurate representation of people from small-scale communities around the world will provide us with a fuller picture of human psychological similarity and diversity, and it will help us to better understand how this diversity is shaped by historical and social processes. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology, Volume 73 is January 2022. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

The article analyzes scientific literature on the topic of the significance of the transformation of territorial communities in the space of a metropolis. It is shown that there are systemic difficulties in the analysis of a number of social phenomena due to the lack of generally accepted formulations of such concepts as “territorial communities”, “megalopolis space” and the differences between the concepts of “territory” and “space”. It is concluded that the aforementioned definitions should be determined by the social processes that occur in modern society, since today they acquire special significance as independent scientific categories in assessing both individual events caused by short-sighted decisions of the authorities and growing negative social phenomena in the form of protest behaviors that result from them.

Objective: To build an account of how bereaved Tamil refugee and asylum seeker children, resettled in Australia, had processed the loss of their dead or missing fathers. Method: Phenomenological and discourse analysis was applied to attachment narratives of nine children (aged 11–17 years) and their surviving mothers in families that lost fathers in war-related circumstances. The narratives were analysed through the lens of Crittenden’s Dynamic-Maturational Model of Attachment and Adaptation (DMM) and Klass’ cross-cultural model of grief. Results: Two divergent pathways — ‘burying the past’ and ‘reifying the past’ — emerged, encompassing the children’s contrasting patterns of information processing regarding loss and trauma (dismissing or preoccupying) and representation of the past (distant-buried or rich-reconstructed). Each pathway reflected a strategic compromise between the constraints and resources presented to the child by the circumstances of the loss (ambiguous or confirmed), the response of their surviving parent (stricken or stoic) and the collective narrative surrounding the loss (silenced or valorised). Conclusion: The DMM’s conceptualisation of attachment as self-protective strategies for navigating danger was helpful in explaining the contrasting adaptations of refugee children to loss and trauma. However, to understand the multivalent meanings of these adaptations, there was a need to situate child–parent attachment relationships within the wider sociocultural reconfigurations arising from contexts of political violence.

Functional Systems

The problem of modern society is that it does not integrate its members into functional systems as a collectivity of individuals with a sense of community and interdependence, but makes them a group of consumers who want to achieve success on their own and for their own benefits. However, not everyone is able to achieve the desired goal. As a result, we have social inequalities that significantly affect relationships and social processes. For many years, economists and sociologists have pointed to the fact that economic success does not necessarily translate into welfare (or quality of life) of societies. They even talk about the “breakdown of society” phenomenon, i.e., an increase in antisocial behaviour and a loss of a sense of community. In the current social reality, we can identify many examples of the fact that their fears are justified. All this makes the need for educational measures to stop or even reverse these phenomena threatening social cohesion seem reasonable.

Objectives. The study of communicative difficulties in situations of intercultural communication with adults and peers and how to overcome them among teenage migrants of the first (refugees) and second generation, living in Russia and Germany. Background. Intercultural communication in modern society, on the one hand, has become the norm of life, on the other hand, a source of conflict and interethnic barriers. Teens, who are sensitive to the difficulties of mastering intercultural communication, both linguistic and socio-psychological, are experiencing especially difficult migration processes. Therefore, it is extremely important to study the communicative difficulties of migrant teens. Study design. We studied the cross-cultural differences in communicative difficulties that arise in teens migrants of the first and second generation in situations of intercultural communication, as well as ways to overcome them. Statistical processing was carried out using the Mann—Whitney U-test, the multiple functional criterion φ* — the Fisher angular transformation. Participants. 200 teens aged 15—17 years (M=16.3). Measurements. Questionnaire “Difficulties of a teenager in communicating with peers and adults”, the method of unfinished sentences, which determines how to overcome communicative difficulties (author A.G. Samokhvalova). The methodological tools were translated into German and adapted by M.V. Metz. Results. It has been established that there are common intercultural communication difficulties that arise among refugee teens from zones of military conflict, regardless of their place of residence. Second-generation migrant teens are more successful in intercultural communication. First-generation migrants are significantly more likely to use destructive strategies to overcome intercultural communication difficulties. Conclusions. Migrant teens of the first and second generation living in Germany and Russia have both general and culturally specific communicative difficulties.

The converging impact of globalization, ICT and knowledge explosion has led to phenomenal changes in the modern society, which have challenged every aspect of our modern lifestyle. To cope with these run-away changes we need to prepare workforce with the skills to handle a range of electronic technologies that characterize this digital era. To prepare citizens with cosmopolitan outlook, cross-cultural understanding, capable of working in multicultural settings on group projects and capacity to think creatively and critically a different approach to the delivery of education is required. This paper argues that nothing less than a radical change, especially in the developing countries, is required in the ways education is delivered to the ‘digital natives’ of today and tomorrow. Arguing that education is the engine room and strength of a nation is based on its quality education, it is crucial for a country to deliver calibrated education to prepare globally competitive citizens. The paper examines various educational reforms undertaken in some successful education systems, but it also serves a caveat that the developing countries like Indonesia or a region like ASEAN should learn from the experience of such systems. At the same time time they should be aware of that an idea which works in one socio-economic setting may not be that effective in another setting as socio-political systems play their own part.
