The mechanism of social-psychological defense used against the influence directed on the stability of social identity and increasing the negative reaction on out-group is modelled. The paradigm of the development of this social-psychological strategy is proposed. This paradigm is related to description of the process of intragroup suggestion and counter-suggestion with system-dynamic ideas. The construction of mathematical model is based in the identification of this process with the development of epidemic one.
