Abstract

The modern social situation is characterized by dynamic changes of the information environment in which people live and act, all public and government institutions function. Rapid development of means of communication and  information equipment, creation of qualitatively new information technologies and systems contributes to the fact that information and communication processes and a set of various information factors occupy a key place in the sphere of social interaction in our society (Astahova, 2011, p 41). These changes actualize the need not so much to protect a person from physical threats, but to protect the person (the individual), as a subject of social relations, as well as his psychological safety, mental well-being and ability to perceive adequately the surrounding reality. In modern world, this means, first of all, the environmental friendliness of the information environment, as well as our ability to protect ourselves from the impact of poor-quality and harmful information (Grachev, 2017, p.72). The development of psychological methods and tools to improve the level of information and psychological security (IPS) requires clarification of existing risks and resources of IPB at the personal level, including age and gender characteristics.
