TRANSITIVE AND VIRTUAL SPACES: COMMON AND DIFFERENT FEATURES

Abstract

In recent decades, a new sphere has emerged, the sphere of virtuality, which a person constructs himself. Phenomenologically, one can speak about many similar features uniting real and virtual spaces. We can assume the similarity of different types of transitivity (crisis and fluid) with different types of work in virtuality (on-line and off-line).Therefore, it is important to understand the styles of behavior, the emotions of people in a situation of different changes, different types of transitivity and different types of Internet communication. These questions became the base of the empirical study which was carried out in 2018-2019 years and consisted of two stages. The study involved young people, students of Moscow universities. The obtained results showed that in general in the on-linesituation the overall level of psychological well-being is lower than in an off-line situation. The similarities in the profiles obtained by presenting positive and negative words showed the similarity in emotional responses to crisis situations in the real and virtual world. Thus, we can say that the constant on-line situation becomes a difficult life situation for many young people. The transparency of the network most negatively affects people who assess the situation as rigid transitivity.
