FACTORS INFLUENCING IDEOLOGICAL RADICALIZATION AMONG YOUTH: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Abstract
This study aims to identify and analyze factors that influence ideological radicalization among teenagers through a qualitative approach. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews and literature analysis to understand the experiences and perspectives of teenagers exposed to radicalization. The research results show that ideological radicalization is influenced by a number of interacting factors, including: Identity crisis and search for meaning, social and environmental influences, the role of social media and propaganda, extremist interpretations of religious teachings and political ideologies, negative life experiences, lack of critical education and media literacy. This research suggests a comprehensive prevention approach, including strengthening critical education, supportive school environments, training for teaching staff, monitoring online content, and promoting dialogue and tolerance.
