| психология специальных служб | intelligence-service psychology (Intelligence-service psychology is a recent development in the field,
which arose from the specific conditions of intelligence work and the
demands it made on the science of psychology. This branch of psychology is exploring the reasons why people become involved in intelligence services, the motivation behind intelligence work, human behavior in information gathering and in high-risk situations, the causes of weaknesses in these areas, the cognitive processes being used in filtering a person's conceptualization of human beings, and in revealing subversive behaviour, exploring how language governs a person's behavior,
disposition, and means of expressing knowledge, and how it acts as a
sophisticated indicator of conditions of mental and physiological stress, the fundamental factors of linguistic comprehension: the duration of presence, the speed of memory, and semantic fields, the subject's sensitivity to mental and physiological duress during the production and comprehension of language, and linguistic regression under such stress, examining lies, focusing on non-verbal aspects, credibility diagnosis, and discovering which nonverbal warning signals can help distinguish between truth and lies. Intelligence services acquire and analyze information in order to create a basis on which governments can make decisions. Specifically, intelligence services are
involved in gaining information that was intended to remain secret, and
that would otherwise be unattainable. The more that other, potentially
hostile, parties wish to keep information secret, the more relevant the
work of the intelligence services becomes. Intelligence work covers a range of topics that are linked by sharing a single core element: viewing information as a strategic factor. The goal of intelligence services is the same in times of both peace and conflict; namely to create predictability, be it by building confidence in times of cooperation or by using human source operations in times of disagreement.
