MEANS TO COUNTER PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE SPECIFIC ACTIONS

Summary/Abstract: In the literature, in addition to defining psychological warfare, an important place is held by analysing its components, sources and forms. Psychological warfare actions stem from the possibility to influence people’s minds based on theories and concepts related to psychosociology. Psychological warfare is thus a true war of intelligences employing manipulation of information, misinformation and intoxication with information, leading to the opponent mental destabilisation, mental influence, and deterrence. Psychological warfare takes into consideration all the details related to the enemy target, beliefs, convictions, vulnerabilities, likes and dislikes. Once the target motivations are known, psychological operations can be carried out.
