Summary
Detecting deviant behavior in military recruits is crucial. This study introduces a new automated psychological diagnosis to identify servicemen at risk of drug and addictive behaviors effectively.
Area of Science:
- Military Psychology
- Behavioral Science
- Psychological Assessment
Background:
- Timely detection of deviant behavior in Armed Forces recruits is a significant challenge.
- Identifying servicemen prone to delinquent and addictive behaviors, including substance abuse, is critical for unit readiness.
- Existing methodologies for identifying drug and psychotropic substance abuse among servicemen have limitations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze existing methodologies for identifying servicemen abusing narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
- To propose and describe a new automated complex psychological diagnosis for socially determined behavioral disorders.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed diagnostic method in identifying at-risk servicemen.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of existing methodologies for detecting substance abuse in military personnel.
- Development and description of a novel automated complex psychological diagnostic system.
- Evaluation of the diagnostic system's characteristics for identifying at-risk individuals.
Main Results:
- The study analyzed current approaches to identifying substance abuse in the military.
- A new automated psychological diagnostic complex for behavioral disorders was developed.
- The proposed method demonstrated high efficiency in identifying 'at risk' servicemen prone to deviant behavior.
Conclusions:
- The developed automated psychological diagnosis is highly effective in identifying servicemen with deviant behaviors.
- This tool aids in the early detection of individuals at risk of addictive and delinquent behaviors.
- Implementing this diagnostic approach can improve the selection and management of military personnel.
