The main scientific outcome of the three-year study is a comprehensive account and explanation of how the full-scale war is reshaping public opinion, collective consciousness, and the political behaviour of Ukrainians, as well as the development of practical guidelines for public policy. For the first time, three explanatory models of public opinion dynamics under conditions of Russian full-scale aggression (the optimal threat model, the social tension model, and the emotional catastrophe response model) have been proposed, and the heuristic potential of the “rally ’round the flag” effect for shaping public opinion in the context of heightened corruption risks and protest activity has been clarified.
The study identifies key trends in the transformation of collective states of mind: the consolidation of a patriotic-military core of identity alongside growing fragmentation of wartime experiences; post-traumatic regeneration of the symbolic space; increasingly pessimistic expectations; the exhaustion of the “rally ’round the flag” effect; and changing attitudes towards war, peace, mobilization, and post-war reforms. It outlines the risks of two adverse trajectories—the aggressively mobilizational and the passively demobilizational—and the psychological preconditions for each.
For the first time, temporal cognitive frames of representing the war (four groups differentiated by the subjective duration of the “present”) are described, along with their relationship to assessments of the current situation and resilience to hostile propaganda. The study develops political-psychological profiles of potential voters of key political leaders and proposes a four-dimensional framework for the ethical public assessment of political leadership. It further deepens understanding of how society perceives educational processes during a protracted war, distinguishing four perspectives on education and identifying the psychological specificities of netiquette in adult education.
