Отношение к социальному взаимодействию в интернет-среде у мужчин и женщин с разным гендерным типом

Introduction. The Internet is an important sphere of communication for a large number of men and women of different ages, but the microlevel of interaction on it has been little studied. The paper is the first to study the attitude of men and women to social interaction which the Internet and social networks is the main sphere of, taking into account their gender type as determined by the author's typology (patriarchal-polarized, patriarchal-similaritive, egalitarian-polarized and egalitarian-similaritive). Methods. Participants: 182 respondents (18 to 70 years old, 75.8% of whom were 21 to 40 years old; 33% men, 67% women) whose main sphere of interaction is the Internet and social networks. Methods: author's gender personality type questionnaire; author's social interaction attitudes questionnaire. Methods of mathematical statistics: stepwise discriminant analysis (IBM SPSS v. 27.0), Cohen's d, descriptive statistics. Results. For representatives of each gender personality type, combinations of parameters that differentiate the attitude to social interaction in men and women on the Internet and social networks were identified. Women of the patriarchal-polarized type perceive the participants of the interaction as focused on their own interests, and place a higher value on restraint. Men of the patriarchal-similaritive type compete more often, and their interaction strongly depends on their attitude to the subject. Men of the egalitarian-polarized type perceive the participants of the interaction as focused on their own interests, while women perceive them as focused on others. Men of the egalitarian-similaritive type perceive work, family, friends as closely interconnected spheres of life, tend to react to the actions of others, without taking initiative; women are guided by generally accepted norms. Discussion. Differences in the content of attitudes to social interaction in men and women with different gender types whose interaction is concentrated on the Internet and social networks were established. With regard to the Internet, beliefs about the polarization of psychological characteristics of men and women have a nonlinear relationship with the magnitude of differences in the content of attitudes to social interaction in men and women with different gender personality types.
