The relevance of studying the relationship between sociocultural identity and social immunity in young people stems from the need to find adaptive mechanisms in the context of contemporary sociocultural turbulence. Sociocultural identity, understood as the process and result of an individual's self-identification with a historically rooted system of traditional values, normative codes, and behavioral patterns, is a key mechanism for the reproduction and integration of society. It ensures the continuity of values and semantics and serves as the basis for the development of social immunity a property of a social system that allows it to maintain integrity and stability, protecting itself from destructive external influences. In the context of youth, this identity performs a dual function: it serves as a psychological buffer, reducing the traumatic impact of external instability, and simultaneously becomes a source of meaning and strategies for actively confronting challenges. The nonlinearity of modern identification processes, characterized by the multiplicity and variability of self-determination, does not negate this function; rather, it complicates and enriches the mechanisms of immunity, creating new opportunities for personal development and forming an adaptive resource for society as a whole. The possibilities of developing youth social immunity are examined from the perspective of a socio-technological approach, which views strengthening the positive socio-cultural identity of youth as a constructive task, solved through the implementation of reproducible and measurable social practices. The target outcome of these technologies is the development of a resilient adaptive complex in the new generation, including skills for critically assessing information, resistance to destructive influences, and the ability to maintain social health.
