Psychological markers for identifying 
behavioral characteristics of children and youth 
prone to aggression and positive perception 
of ideas of extremism, terrorism and violence

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of identifying psychological markers associated with aggressive and extremist behavior among children and youth. In the context of growing social tension and digitalization of communications, timely diagnosis of such tendencies is becoming a key element in the prevention of destructive phenomena. The authors focus on a systematic analysis of individual and personal factors contributing to the formation of aggression and extremist attitudes. Key markers include: cross-cultural, personal, behavioral, social, emotional, communicative (conflictological), family and medical characteristics. The results of this work emphasize the relationship between personality traits, social context and the risk of involvement in aggressive or extremist actions. The authors emphasize the need for an integrated approach combining psychological and pedagogical support, preventive activities and social integration of children and adolescents.
