In the study presented in the paper, the term passion for computer games and viewing social networks is used as a predictor of computer addiction and, which is not legally defined as addiction, but its blocking effect on the educational activity and productivity of schoolchildren can be stated. The study was carried out in accordance with the ecopsychological model of the formation of subjectivity from the subject of perception to the subject of productive development. The aim was to study the possible links between the passion for computer games and social networks, and such a state of personality, which in everyday consciousness is defined as laziness of schoolchildren. In accordance with the understanding of the formation of subjectivity (the subject of productive development) in the ecopsychological model, the key condition is human activity. We suggested that the lack of activity or passivity of students in grades 8-11 may be a condition for the emergence of excessive enthusiasm for computer games and viewing social networks. Two authors methods were used: Personal characteristics as predictors of abnormal behavior and Laziness or unwillingness to learn, the creation of which is associated with the need to study the intrapersonal causes of passivity or lack of activity in educational activities or the phenomenon of learning laziness in students. The hypotheses are confirmed by the fact that Spearmans correlation coefficients were obtained, showing statistically significant links between computer and social media involvement with all the identified causes of laziness, namely: reduced learning motivation, lack of self-confidence, attitudes that everything does not depend on me, so there is nothing to try, poor health, lack of conscious self-regulation, dissatisfaction with the attitude of teachers. Spearman coefficients from .326 to .421 at p 0.001. In general, the results obtained confirm the theoretical validity of the developed methods and show the validity of their use for psychological and pedagogical support for the development and formation of subjectivity of high school students.
