“…Zinchenko (2011) argues that a sense of security can be usefully viewed as a psychological system that is anchored in broader group-based meaning systems, ideologies, and situations in society (Bar-Tal, 1990;Dontsov, Zinchenko & Zotova, 2013;Zinchenko, 2011). Dontsov, Zinchenko and Zotova (2013) extend this conceptualization to consider how a focus on human collective existence within various diverse groupings can illuminate how personal and collective consciousness of security is shaped by culture, history, economics, political, and inter-group relations (Dontsov & Perelygina 2013;Zinchenko 2011;Zinchenko and Zotova 2014;Zotova, 2011). People often feel (in)secure, with, or in relation to others who are similar or different to them.…”

Since its inception as a modern and evolving discipline, psychology has been concerned with issues of human security. This think piece offers an initial conceptualisation of human security as a broad security concept that encompasses a range of interrelated dimensions that have been responded to by different sub-disciplinary domains within psychology. We advance an argument for a human security psychology as a connecting focal point for general psychology that enables us to bring knowledge from across our eclectic discipline into further dialogue. This is a necessary step in understanding better the state of current thinking on the psychology of security and as a basis for informing further theory, research and practice efforts to address issues of human (in)security. This initial effort is informed by Assemblage Theory, which offers a dynamic and contextually rich perspective on people as agentive beings entangled within evolving natural and social formations that can foster or undermine their experiences of [in]security. The article is completed with a brief agenda for advancing human security psychology.

“…Today, one of the most pressing problems (and the most topical issue in social research) is that of security on many different levels (Zinchenko, 2011;Zinchenko & Zotova, 2014), along with security-related phenomena, such as terrorism (Zinchenko, Shaigerova, & Shilko, 2011;Chaiguerova, & Soldatova, 2013;Solda-Researching social processes through the use of VR environments The timely character of VR-assisted research of social processes is determined by some scientific and applied tasks that are exceptionally difficult or impossible to fulfill by means of classical research methods (e.g., psychological interviews, questionnaires). These tasks include studying the processes of ethnocultural identification and the formation of racial and ethnic attitudes; analyzing the behavior of partners that belong to different cultures when arranging virtual communication and videoconferences; developing "virtual avatars" to diagnose and regulate social conflicts; and creating virtual scenes to develop specific skills of interaction with partners representing a different cultural background or a different ethnic group.…”

The postnonclassical paradigm has increasingly become a conceptual basis for social research in various fields in an attempt to overcome the limitations of the classical and non-classical approaches. Subjects of social research activities require changes in the paradigm at all levels of research: from the statement of the problem to the elaboration of the appropriate methods and the analysis of the research data. The search for new research methods, technologies and techniques plays a crucial role in this process. One of the most promising methods that has rapidly developed in recent years is the technology of virtual reality (VR). This technology is being widely applied to both natural science and social science research. In this article, we examine the possibilities of using VR technology for the resolution of current tasks in social research from the perspective of the postnonclassical approach.

“…Zinchenko (2011), for instance, argued that psychological security is best viewed as a system that links individuals to the security of a particular society. A consciousness of security for people within nations is seen as typified by various factors, including culture, history, economics, politics, ethnic experiences, and processes (Dontsov & Perelygina, 2013; Zinchenko, 2011; Zinchenko & Zotova, 2014; Zotova, 2011). Hence, “security is a condition of a person according to which he/she can satisfy basic needs for self-preservation and perception of being secure (psychologically) in society ” (Dontsov, Zinchenko, & Zotova, 2013, p. 99, emphasis added).…”

Concerns regarding human security arguably define the contemporary world. Such concerns relate to the human desire to live with "freedom from want" and "freedom from fear" (United Nations System Task Team, 2012). There are significant challenges for contemporary human security that have emerged with processes of globalization, climate change, migration, population growth, violent extremism, transnational crime, constantly developing technologies, poverty, and inequality. More than ever perhaps, it is essential to consider the importance of economics, livelihoods, ecology, health, politics, and society when we seek to better understand human security. However, the dominant focus in psychology has remained relatively fixed on individual needs, perspectives, and experiences.Security has long been an object of study within the discipline of psychology. With notable exceptions related to issues of the environment, culture, and society that appear in this special section, our disciplinary approaches have tended to approach security rather narrowly as an individualized process. As a discipline, we have primarily focused on understanding and supporting secure minds, thoughts, emotions, and identities, in essence a stable selfhood that grows in a stable or secure personal environment. Beginning with a North American humanistic perspective, security was initially theorized in psychology as requiring a blending of fundamental needs as well as personality development to create different levels of secure personhood (Maslow, 1942). Psychoanalytic thinkers have posited relational attachments as central to developing the psychic organization needed for this secure sense of self (Ainsworth & Ainsworth, 1958;Bowlby, 1958;Fairbarin, 1952;Klein, 1927). Primarily, it was considered that successful emotional and social development results from positive attachment experiences in both childhood and adulthood.This notion of the secure personhood has permeated other nation states beyond the United States and Europe, where the focus has tended to remain on individualistic aspects of personal security. As such, cross-cultural psychologists have also considered security in terms of people's internal psychological processes through attention on developmental perspectives (Mesman, van Ijzendoorn, & Sagi-Schwartz, 2016), psychological needs (Malka, Soto, Inzlicht, & Lelkes, 2014), and moral values (Schwartz, 2012.
