Подростковые девиации в сетевом сообществе

Introduction. The article explores the characteristics of adolescent deviant behavior in online communities. This study is the first to examine the specific role dispositions of adolescents prone to online deviance. We analyzed the mechanisms through which real-world personalities transform in the digital environment, leading to the development of both normative and deviant digital identities. Our research focus was on teenagers, as they represent the most vulnerable group, with their value systems undergoing reformation in the real world while their new social experiences are shaped online. Methods. In the study, which involved a survey of 158 adolescents in both real and virtual spaces, the following methodologies were used: "Propensity for bullying in the Internet space" (Luchinkina, 2019); individual personality orientation diagnostic methodology (modified by N.P. Fetiskin); locus of role conflict diagnostic methodology by P. P. Gornostai. Results. Adolescents with an egoistic orientation are more prone to engage in online deviant behaviors such as harassment. Conversely, adolescents with a cooperative orientation are less likely to exhibit deviant behaviors, including verbal insults, harassment, disclosure of personal information, threats of physical violence, and social isolation. The desire for new online experiences, combined with a reduced interest in real-life interactions, contributes to both socially acceptable and deviant online roles. In contrast, adolescents with a marginalized orientation are more likely to engage in deviant behaviors such as harassment, insults, using fake names and profiles, social isolation, disclosing personal information, and making threats of violence. Furthermore, a correlation has been established between the locus of role conflict and specific forms of online deviant behavior. Discussion. Cultural factors play a significant role in shaping individual online behavior patterns, influencing attitudes, values, and behavioral responses. Online activity can range from normative to deviant, with each influencing cognitive processes and online behavior.
