PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS FOR PERSONALITY USE OF NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS

Statement of the problem. The article is devoted to the problem of the influence of network communications on the personality of students. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the analysis of scientific literature, the results of empirical research, which make it possible to distinguish the entities, characteristics and indicators of the influence of network communications on personality in the learning process, to determine positive and negative trends of this influence in the context of the psychological and social aspect of the subjective-developmental approach. The methodological foundation consists of works on personality (K.A. Abulkhanova), tolerance for ambiguity among teachers and students (T.V. Kornilova, S.D. Smirnov), personal decision-making (A.I. Sannikov), about the viability of an individual (N.T. Selezneva, N.V. Rublenko, T.Yu. Todysheva), representing digital society as a socio-cultural phenomenon (G.N. Sergeeva), processes of digitalization of modern education (V.S. Agapov, A.M. Balykina). This made it possible to determine the methodological foundations of the study on the qualitative content of the influence of network communications on personality in the process of training. The basis for the choice of research methods was understanding of the complexity of the structure of the personality, the multifaceted manifestation of it in real life and virtual space of education environment. Research methods. The following methods were used in this study: 1. Questionnaire on “Style of self-regulation of behavior – SSB” (V.I. Morosanova). 2. Questionnaire of reflexivity (A.V. Karpov). 3. Questionnaire on “Communicative and organizational tendencies” (V.A. Sinyavsky, B.A. Fedorishin). 4. Value questionnaire (S. Schwartz). 5. Test on “Motivation to succeed” (T. Elers). 6. Questionnaire on “Modern social values” (N.T. Selezneva). The results of the study allow us to distinguish the influence of network communications on reflexive, regulatory, motivational mechanisms of personality self-consciousness, which determine the self-development of personality, its productive expression in real life and virtual space. The unproductive realization of the personality is possible in the absence of the integrity of life space in its consciousness. Conclusion. Active users of network communications, young people studying at universities and colleges, in whose consciousness representations of eventuality are formed – the perception of a holistic life space. They show readiness and ability to self-develop qualitative characteristics of meaningful orientations, ideas about themselves, as a subject of life dynamics, having freedom of choice, timely assessment of life problem situations, self-organization in the construction of educational and professional activities. Users of network communications who do not express subjectivity need psychological support throughout the entire process of organizing educational and professional activities. Authors’ contribution consists in theoretical analysis of scientific literature, definition and substantiation of research methods, processing and analysis of results of influence of network communications on personality. In the process of empirical research, we have identified manifestations of the subjectivity of the personality of active users of network communications, if consciousness has formed ideas of eventuality – the perception of a holistic life space and they have high or moderate motive levels for achieving success.
