Abstract
Introduction. Socio-psychological adaptation occurs when a person interacts with the social environment. You can see how the Internet space is replacing live communication with digital communication. Adolescents between the ages of 14 and 16 have increased rates of personality development, which arouses interest in this study. The paper analyzes the socio-psychological adaptation of Internet-addicted adolescents.
Materials and Methods. The study involved 205 9th grade students, among them 44 % of male and 56 % of female students. The average age of the respondents is 15-16 years old. Psychological methods were used in the course of the study. The study was carried out on the basis of MOBU Secondary Educational School No. 10 named after Bely S. I. Sochi in the 2022/23 academic year. The scale of "Internet addiction" (S. Chen (CTAS), the questionnaire of "Socio-psychological adaptation" (K. Rogers, R. Diamond and adapted by T. V. Snegireva (1987); A.M. Parishioners (2005), preference questionnaire.
Results. The results of the study. It was found that out of 205 adolescent students, 17 % have formed and sustained Internet-dependent behavior. The correlation analysis showed the presence of a relationship between Internet addiction and socio-psychological adaptation in adolescents. Teenagers who are addicted to the Internet have a tendency: to neurotic deviation, the presence of intrapersonal conflicts, complications in decision-making, rejection of others. The need for communication, the desire for dominance, the form of internal locus of control, adaptability to the requirements of society, self-esteem, time management and adaptability are reduced.
Discussion and Conclusions. Based on the results of an empirical study, we can talk about the connection between Internet-dependent behavior and socio-psychological adaptation in adolescents.
