چکیده
جنگ شناختی، به‌عنوان شکلی نوین از تهدید در عصر اطلاعات، مبانی غیرفیزیکی امنیت ملی را با هدف تغییر ادراکات، باورها و رفتارهای جمعی نشانه رفته است. این پژوهش با هدف واکاوی سازوکارهای تأثیرگذاری جنگ شناختی بر انسجام ملی و تبیین پیامدهای آن بر امنیت ملی جمهوری اسلامی ایران انجام شده است. روش تحقیق از نوع کیفی و با اتکا به منابع کتابخانه‌ای و اسنادی (اسناد مکتوب و دیجیتال) انجام شده است. رویکرد حاکم بر تحقیق، تحلیل محتوای کیفی برای استخراج و تبیین مؤلفه‌های کلیدی جنگ شناختی، راهبردهای عملیاتی آن و اثرات آن بر نهادهای اجتماعی و حاکمیتی است. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد جنگ شناختی با ابزارهایی مانند شایعه‌پراکنی، تحریف هویت و تاریخ و قطبی‌سازی اجتماعی، مؤلفه‌های بنیادین انسجام ملی از جمله اعتماد، همبستگی و هویت جمعی را مستقیماً تضعیف می‌کند. این تضعیف، به نوبه خود امنیت ملی را در ابعاد سیاسی، فرهنگی، اجتماعی و اقتصادی به‌شدت آسیب‌پذیر ساخته و منجر به بی‌ثباتی، هویت‌زدایی و کاهش سرمایه اجتماعی می‌شود. در پایان، راهکارهای مقابله‌ای شامل توسعه سواد رسانه‌ای و شناختی، جهاد تبیین، تقویت نهادهای حاکمیتی و مرزبندی هوشمند فضای مجازی ارائه شده است.

چکیده English

Cognitive warfare, as an emerging form of threat in the information age, targets the non-physical foundations of national security by seeking to reshape public perceptions, beliefs, and collective behavior. This study aims to examine the mechanisms through which cognitive warfare influences national cohesion and to explain its implications for the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research adopts a qualitative methodology based on documentary and library sources, including both printed and digital documents. The analytical framework relies on qualitative content analysis to identify and interpret the key dimensions of cognitive warfare, its operational strategies, and its effects on social and governmental institutions. The findings indicate that cognitive warfare, through instruments such as disinformation, the distortion of national identity and historical narratives, and social polarization, directly undermines the fundamental pillars of national cohesion, including public trust, social solidarity, and collective identity. This erosion, in turn, significantly weakens national security across its political, cultural, social, and economic dimensions, resulting in increased instability, identity erosion, and a decline in social capital. The study concludes by proposing a set of strategic countermeasures, including the promotion of media and cognitive literacy, the implementation of Jihad-e Tabyin (clarification and explanatory discourse), the strengthening of governmental institutions, and the adoption of intelligent governance and regulation of cyberspace to enhance societal resilience against cognitive threats.
