BLACK HOLE OF CAPTIVITY IN THE UNIVERSE OF WAR
Abstract
The article examines the psychological features of military servants in captivity. The methodological basis of the research is indicated. The article includes an analysis of the works of experts in various fields of knowledge. Scientific works since the Great Northern War of 1700-1721 until the ongoing Joint Forces Operation in eastern Ukraine were reviewed. We have proved that POW’s (prisoner of war) rationalization of conduct is positive because it greatly contributes to the survival in captivity. The expediency of resorting to mimicry for the captured military servants is substantiated. We considered the models of POWs’ behavioral mimicry and gave concrete examples. It is determined that the creation of a multifaceted illusion on them (their thoughts, reasoning, and attitude) is the basic condition for successful mimicry of POWs.
We defined the dependence of the duration of the POW’s process of adaptation to new conditions on the individual cognitive interest of a particular serviceman, as a natural desire to get information about the environment and understand the laws of its functioning. It is identified that the process of the POW’s adaptation involves a review of their values of life. The necessity of vaccination against captivity is theoretically substantiated and proved.
We proved that rehabilitation measures are mandatory for all persons released from captivity. The results of the research allow forming a holistic view of the effectiveness of POWs’ behavior regulation using symbolic mimicry, the importance, and the expediency of further research.
