Self-presentation is one of the basic human communicative behaviours. At school it is connected with the ability to characterize a character, which often results in schematic form and stereotypical content. The routinisation of procedures used by teachers breeds students’ indifference. Contemporary urge for social communication sets new challenges to the ability of characterization, one of which being the ability of effective self-presentation. In this particular context the characteristics loses its status of solely school being and faces the current urge of existence on labour market or in the virtual space. The aim of this performance is to present the results of empirical research carried out in secondary schools (against available research results of chosen “self-presentation genres” found in the Internet, such as blogs or IRC’s) in the form of quantitative-qualitative analysis of students’ abilities of the genre’s realization (complemented with the theoretical works in linguistics and linguistic efficiency development didactics) in a perspective of communicative competence’s development in this particular area.

Nowadays selfie is one of the significant communication methods in the conditions of the developing internet space.GoalThe study of psychological mechanisms motivating perception of internet space via selfie.ObjectivesThe identification of:– The personal-social necessity in selfie, as a method of the virtual world perception;– The factors of personal-social necessity of the virtual communication via selfie;– The personal features, which contribute to self-presentation in virtual space via selfie.Research methodsOne hundred and thirty-four respondents aging between16–28 (1stgroup: 68 respondents fond of selfie(50.8%), 2ndgroup: 66 respondents not fond of selfie(49.2%)) were studied using standardized scales of anxiety (Spilberger-Hanin), depression (Zung), ego-defense mechanisms(EGMs)(Plutchik-Kellerman-Konte), and life quality(WHO, 1991).ResultsDesire of high evaluation dominates in 47.8% of respondents(r = 0.3; P < 0.01). Fifty point seven percent of the 1stgroup and13.4% in 2ndgroup have heightened anxiety (r = 0.3; P < 0.01). Forty-three point two percent in1stgroup and 23.9% in 2ndgroup don’t have depression.Subdepressive level dominates in 19,4% of 2ndgroup(r = 0.36; P < 0.01), against 11.9% of 1stgroup.In 1stgroup dominate: denial (17.9%), projection (16.4%), regression (7.5%); in 2ndgroup: denial(17.9%), intellectualization(13.4%), projection(7.5%)(P < 0.05). Forty-four point eight percent in 1stgroup and 40.3% in 2ndgroup have a high level of EGM stress (P < 0.05). Forty-six point eight percent in 1stgroup have high level of subjective life quality, 0% had low one; in 2ndgroup: 26.9% have high level, 13.4% low one.ConclusionsPersonal-social necessity of virtual space perception via selfie reflects the severity of narcissistic tendencies. Selfie in conditions of illusory reality increases the subjective level of life quality. Isolation of narcissistic personality from communication through selfie suggests subjective decrease of life quality. Effects of the selfie should be considered in the development of rational methods of use of internet-technologies and in the psycho-correction of people with low life quality.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Finding out specific of socialization of a person under the conditions of virtualization of social processes is considered to be very actual nowadays. The problem of social virtual reality is becoming the subject of scientific research, but the social abilities of a given reality has been analyzed by scientists not enough yet. In the article much attention is paid to revealing the essence of the virtual reality on the one hand, but one should think it in a wide sense, connecting this only with computerizing the society, with Internet using, but on the other hand it different spheres of society related to it. The main constructive fact is the essence explanation of the virtual reality via the distribution in the society the so-called simulating processes and phenomena which may be connected with computerizing or may be out of it. The formation of the mass information culture of the mass man demonstrated the transition of society to a qualitatively different degree, associated with the emergence of a new type of personality, which is endowed with specific properties and characteristics, stereotypes of behavior and social functions. In other words, a person becomes a part of virtual reality, in which the phenomena and events of real and virtual space merge into a single whole. Virtuality is a phenomenon that can be interpreted not only as a result of human immersion in the information field, but also as an artifact of culture, created under the influence of information and reflecting the formation of a new type of communication. In modern socio-humanitarian knowledge, there are two approaches to defining the concept of «virtual reality». According to the first position, virtualization does not necessarily mean the replacement of reality by its image (simulation) with the help of computer technology. Thus, the virtualization of society and the formation of a network culture, on the one hand, complicate, and on the other - enrich the process of forming a personal identity. Virtual reality creates new opportunities for constructing identity, expanding the number of «others» with whom a person interacts. Network or virtual identity cannot be considered as independent entities, as subjects of behavior and activity, as alternatives to «real» personal identity. This is just one aspect of identity, the result of self-presentation of the individual in cyberspace.

It is pointed out that olfactory self-representation is not only cultural, but socio-psychological phenomenon as well. The article presents results of the empirical study of gender socio-psychological characteristics of olfactory self-presentation of a personality that has been carried out on a sample of 170 persons (90 men and 80 women aged 18–55 years old). It has been pointed out that smell can act as a marker of gender identity, carry information about character, personal trains, and act as a symbol of situation and well-being. The author comes to the conclusion that there are gender differences in characteristics of olfactory self-presentation of a personality that are conditioned by individual and socio-psychological peculiarities of a personality. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be realized in imagology and advertising.
