PSYCHOLOGY OF DEVIANT FORMS OF ECONOMIC PERSONAL BEHAVIOR IN CYBERSPACE

Abstract

The goal of the research achieved by the author is the analysis of psychological features
of deviant forms of economic behavior of an individual in cyberspace.
Methodology. To implement the problematic completeness of the research and obtain
scientifically based and reliable results and general conclusions, a complex of theoretical
methods was used: synthesis, logic and structure of the presentation, analysis and
generalization, tools of scientific source studies. Linguistic methodology and the method of
cognition were used to study the problematic issues of this work in the unity of their visual
and factual perception, social content, legal and terminological form of representation. The
systemic-structural approach made it possible to conceptually form, implement the
theoretical foundations and model the complexity of the research discourse.
Results. It is shown that human crime and delinquency are related to both external
factors (interaction with other types of crime, age, gender, material values, influence of
peers) and internal factors that mediate criminal tendencies. It was concluded that the
specifics of deviant forms of individual economic behavior in cyberspace have not yet been
sufficiently studied, and attention is focused on more common types of cyber deviance.
Instead, the actual problems are the peculiarities of the formation of economic cyber
deviance; the detection of a tendency to this type of behavior; planning correctional and
educational psychological work with deviants and victims of economic cybercrimes. An
important problem is the difficulty of conducting research taking into account the key
feature of cyberspace - anonymity.
