Метою дослідження був теоретичний аналіз впливу сприймання державної влади та їїрішень на характеристики громадянської ідентичності. Методологічно дослідженняґрунтується на вченні про суб’єктність як іманентно притаманну особистості/групі/організаціїпрагнення-здатність бути автором свого життя, джерелом активності, спрямованої нареалізацію свого потенціалу. Звертається увага на те, що сприймання влади часто пов’язане зфрустрацією, спричиненою зовнішнім контролем і примусом. Специфіка образу державноївлади актуалізує ту чи ту парадигму відносин особистості з державою, а залежно від неїформуються певні характеристики громадянської ідентичності. Як один із каналівсприймання державної влади розглядаються ухвалені нею рішення. Зауважено, що політичнірішення сприймаються більш негативно, ніж управлінські, бо передбачають прихованиймотив, пов’язаний з боротьбою за владу, її зміцнення і поширення. Це актуалізує парадигмуоб’єкт-суб’єктних відносин, за яких у сприйманні особистості суб’єктом виступає державнавлада, а об’єктом – громадянин. Таке сприймання зумовлює протестність або, навпаки,громадянську конформність як характеристики громадянської ідентичності. Обидві несприяють діалогу і розробці адекватних способів вплив на владу. Готовність до діалогу звладою має ґрунтуватися на притаманній громадянській зрілості суб’єкт-суб’єктній парадигмівідносин. Результати дослідження можуть бути використані для розробки програмгромадянської освіти; психодіагностичного інструментарію для визначення громадянськоїконформності, протестності, зрілості як характеристик громадянської ідентичності. Основнийнапрям подальших досліджень – встановлення психологічних закономірностей перцепціїгромадянином ухвалених рішень як управлінських чи політичних, а також вивчення впливуперцепції правового поля держави на характеристики громадянської ідентичності. Соціальнінаслідки таких досліджень лежать у полі ціннісного об’єднання громадян і державної влади,що уможливлює спільне бачення проблем і моделей розвитку держави.

In this connection, there are increasing demands on the professionalism of specialists in the field of practical psychology, their philosophical counseling in the context of postmodernism, aimed at helping people become the subject of their life, work, social and value relationships, to teach them to find meanings and maximize self-actualization.

The relevance to the investigation stems from the fact that during military operations in Ukraine there are psychological complications both among servicemen and the population. The most common type of psychological complications is fear as one of the most mysterious and contradictory emotions. Formed in the process of evolution as a signal and warning human reaction to danger, fear often misinforms people about the extent of external danger. Fear as a psychological complication is a powerful catalyst of human physical, spiritual strength and energy and, at the same time, it can paralyze his ability to withstand danger. It is reflected in the brain, the brain organ of the central nervous system, which regulates all the most important changes in the human body. In case of stress, it is the brain structures that react first and trigger a response, the purpose of which is adaptation and survival in difficult conditions. The brain detects a threat, recognizes the cause of psychological or physical stress. In response to the influence of a stressor protective mechanisms are triggered, changing the work of the nervous and endocrine systems. The article reveals the concept of horror and its psychotraumatic effect; the most important functions of fear as a psychological complication are defined; the neurobiological basis of stress as a psychological complication during war is investigated.
