Abstract

Relevance of the study. In the conditions of hybrid warfare and, in particular, informational warfare, the role of patriotism as a potential resource for the preservation of national identity of Ukrainians increases. Information ideological war, aimed at distorting the consciousness of Ukrainians and which is carried out mainly in the information space, requires from young people not only developed media-information literacy, but also effective patriotism in social networks — “informational” patriotism. Objective. To propose a notion of youth informational patriotism, to note its specificity and define innovative directions of its development with the help of media psychology practices. Methodological framework. The concept of informational patriotism is illuminated within the framework of theoretical works of national patriotic education of Ukrainian youth, the theory of cyber socialization and media psychology. Results of the research. On the basis of sources analysis was discovered the scientific problem, which is the lack of theoretical knowledge about the existing social and psychological phenomenon of informational patriotism, which is common in social networks, on video hosting services, informational Internet publications, etcetera. A new concept of “informational patriotism” is proposed. In the psychological aspect, personal information patriotism constitutes a new form of manifestation of patriotism of the information age, which, due to the activation of the emotional-sensual, mental-cognitive, motivational-action components, is actualized exclusively in the plane of cyberspace — interactive information environment. Informational patriotism of youth, unlike traditional patriotism, has a specific manifestation of structural and functional components. On the media-psychological plane, informational patriotism is aimed at the preservation and distribution of Ukrainian content, protection from hostile propaganda and the creation and promotion of Ukrainian values in the information environment. The development of informational patriotism of youth is ensured by innovative media psychological practices. Prospects of practical application of the research results. Informational patriotism requires further theoretical and empirical research. However, the obtained results of the mass survey and their preliminary analysis provide an opportunity to highlight strategies and tactics of innovative methodological tools. The practical toolkit consists of stimulating patriotic activity of students in social networks. In turn, patriotic activity is aimed at the protection, distribution of Ukrainian content in the interactive environment, as well as the creation of new, original content. The development of informational patriotism of children and youth is planned to do through media-psychological practices in media-educational format.
