“friend”

Images of “friends” and “strangers” as a subject of socio-psychological imagology

Relevance: in a social situation of transitivity, including the coronavirus pandemic and regional military confl icts, binary oppositions “Us vs. Them”, “ours vs. theirs”, “friend or foe” play a crucial role in interpersonal and intergroup perception. In the ‘personality – group –society’ system, these constructs participate in self-determination of the individual, in the construction of a system of identities, in the formation and implementation of communicative and interactive patterns and strategies.
