FEATURES OF PROBLEM USE OF INTERNET AND COMPUTER DEPENDENCE AMONG ADOLESCENTS WITH DIFFERENT LEVEL OF VICTIM IDENTITY
This article presents a study of the features of the problematic use of the Internet by adolescents with different levels of victim identity. As part of the study, psychodiagnostic methods were used (Test of victim identity by O.O. Andronnikova; General scale of problematic use of the Internet-3 (GPIUS3) by A.A. Gerasimova, A.B. Kholmogorova; Screening diagnostics of computer addiction by L.N. Yurieva, T.Yu. Bolbot); methods of quantitative and qualitative information processing (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Kruskal-Wallis criteria, use of elements of descriptive statistics). The importance of considering the manifestation of victim identity in adolescence as a consequence of the negative experience of the crisis in the context of the manifestation of computer addiction among children and problematic use of the Internet against the background of active digitalization of the environment is emphasized. As a result of the study, the hypothesis has been confirmed that there are differences in the severity of indicators of problematic behaviour on the Internet and computer addiction in adolescents with different levels of victim identity, namely: adolescents with a high level of victim identity are characterized by high values of signs of cognitive absorption, compulsive use of virtual space, negative consequences of using the Internet; adolescents with a high level of victim identity typically have an increased risk of computer addiction.
