The article devoted to the study of the influence of the value-semantic sphere of an individual, namely, life-sense orientations, on its virtual image in the Internet space. The article provides a critical analysis of the literature devoted to the study of the value-semantic sphere of personality and virtual personality in the Internet space. It was determined that the value-semantic sphere as a complex dynamic construct of the personality determines its inner world and sets the vector of its activity. Also, during the analysis of the literature, it was revealed that the system of meanings and values determines the choice of behavioural patterns of the personality, and also acts as a censor to assess the events and phenomena that it encounters. The study analysed the virtual personality of an Internet user as a psychological phenomenon; it describes such properties of a virtual personality as virtuality (the degree of acceptance of virtual reality as an environment in which social life is feasible), involvement (the level of knowledge of information and computer technologies and a sense of belonging to a virtual society) and orientation (the presence or absence of ideas about socially approved behaviour in Internet society). The article also analyses the results of an empirical study of the influence of the component of the meaning-life orientations of the value-semantic sphere of the individual on the properties of his virtual image. It was determined that there is a direct connection between the indicator of the life process and the level of involvement of the virtual personality (people with the perception of their life as filled with meaning and emotionally saturated in the Internet space have developed motivation for life activity) and that there is a direct connection between the indicator of the result of life and the level of orientation of the virtual personality (people with a subjectively assessed high level of self-realisation in the Internet space show a tendency towards normative behaviour).

The article provides a critical analysis of the literature on the researches of the sphere of personality values in the Internet space. Also, in the course of the study, it was determined that the sphere of personality values is a complex dynamic construct of the personality, which determines its inner world and outlines the vector of its activity. It was also revealed that the virtual personality of an Internet user is a complex formation that is formed during the transition of a real person to the socio-cultural space of the Internet, with subsequent integration into it and the internalization of the values and meanings of the virtual society. The virtual personality of an Internet user as a psychological phenomenon was analyzed; such properties of a virtual personality as virtuality (the degree of acceptance of virtual reality as a social environment), involvement (the level of information and computer technologies awareness and a sense of belonging to a virtual society) and orientation (the presence or absence of ideas about socially approved behavior in Internet society) are described. The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of the influence of the component of basic beliefs in the value-semantic sphere of a person on the properties of their virtual image. It was revealed that there is a correlation between the indicator of the basic belief in the benevolence of the world and the level of virtual personality (people with the belief in the benevolence of the world in the Internet space have developed motivation for creative activity), as well as a correlation between the indicator of the basic belief in the controllability of the world and the level of involvement of the virtual personality (people with a conviction of the controllability of the world in the Internet space tend to perceive themselves as a significant part of it).

The purpose of the study is a theoretical substantiation and empirical study of the psychological content parameters of the relationship between perfectionism and feelings of loneliness in youth. A new view of modern reality with its constant changes and increased requirements for the functioning of the individual in society has been substantiated. It is noted that such a view provokes the mass formation and spread of perfectionism and loneliness. It is noted that every day more and more people, especially young people, suffer from the imperfections of this world and the feeling of isolation from others. It has been established that socially conditioned perfectionism, concern for mistakes, doubts about one’s own actions and self-criticism have a positive significant connection with the feeling of loneliness in youth (p<.01). However, rigid perfectionism and self-centered perfectionism are inversely related to feelings of loneliness. It was found that young men are largely prone to self-centered perfectionism (p<.01). A pronounced high level of loneliness was observed in n=18 subjects. Attention has been drawn to the fact that doubts about one’s own actions and concern for mistakes inevitably provoke feelings of loneliness. Emphasis has been placed on important areas of actualization of empirical results in order to develop constructive perfectionism. It has been noted that the results obtained should be operationalized in educational and professional training of students-psychologists.

The characteristics of Z generation individuals constituting the majority of today’s youth are quite different from those of previous generations’ individuals. The individuals of this generation who spend their each and every moment on the internet and live their social life on this environment can shape their real life with this virtual life as well. While the fact that they can reach any information they want at any time enables them to be more brilliant on the one hand, this also prevents their emotional intelligence from improving. These individuals have some features like being rather self-confident, independent, introvert, dissatisfied, communicating only via social media, knowing what they want, expressing themselves quite well and desire to have all the control on their hand. Besides observations and empirical studies, it’s also possible to evaluate the characteristics of the individuals and their lives by means of Graphology, whose validity and reliability have already been proved to be true and which has well-established in literature today. Graphology elicits the characteristics of the individual under the umbrella of the information based on his writing and signature. The aim of this study is to evaluate by means of Graphology whether the characteristics of Z generation living in Turkey and those of living in abroad are similar to each other or not. In this study, a group of 15 Turkish people living in England, who are Z generation individuals, will be investigated with the help of Graphology. Thanks to this study, Z generation individuals’ features already available in the literature in Turkey will be compared with the findings that will be available at the end of our study.

This paper dwells on the phenomenon of escapism and suggests regarding it as a natural human need that has not only a negative, but also a productive form. The author analyses the idea of escapism as a human escape from natural threats by creating culture and “second nature” (proposed by the cultural geographer Yi-Fu Tuan). It is shown that, indeed, even those human societies that are closest to nature cannot survive without culture and technologies. Further, it is demonstrated that in the late 18th – early 19th centuries because of scientific and industrial revolutions the cultural trend of Romanticism rejects the technogenic society and rationality. Instead, it takes interest in nature as reflecting the emotional, intuitive components of the human spirit. Wild natural landscapes, to which a romanticist wishes to escape, are attractive not just in themselves, but because their contemplation becomes a way for a person to better understand his/her inner world. Wild nature is also appealing to a romanticist because being alone with it a person is free from the pressure of the society that is turning into a mass society with high level of bureaucracy. With the onset of the Internet era, many people tend at first to escape to the virtual world with no limitations, but over time the Internet becomes an integral part of the social life of all people, thus losing its escapist appeal. On the contrary, another wish emerges: to escape from the Internet (which can be regarded as “third nature”) and from the total social control exercised by other Internet users back to the “real” – offline – world. Thus, a conclusion is drawn that escapism is not provoked just by natural threats or social pressure: a person wishes to escape not from nature or culture, but from the situation where he/she feels bad to a better situation, and while searching for such a place a person can act as a creative force that changes the world.

During the transition period from adolescence to adulthood, individuals with high level of social anxiety may face challenges in their academics, social life, and career. The internet-based CBT (iCBT) module "Konseling Daring Pendukung Siswa Cerdas" (KDPSC) was developed to intervene with the social anxiety experienced by Indonesian young adults. Fifteen university freshmen with moderate to high levels of social anxiety agreed to fully participate in all sessions of the program. The sessions were conducted under the guidance of registered psychologists through the chatting platform on Google Hangouts. Indonesian version of Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A) were administered during the pretest and posttest. We initially conducted a qualitative assessment during the intervention and found three emergent themes at the beginning of Session Two, namely, loneliness, the feeling of having no choice, and social withdrawal. After the end of Session Two, three emergent themes were found; 1), positive thinking, 2) feeling academically motivated, and 3) intention to open up. The main finding showed that students’ level of social anxiety after intervention (M = 58.07; SE = 3.28; t(14) = 4.250; p<0.01; Cohen’s d=0.875) was significantly lower than before intervention (M = 67.20; SE = 2.048). Further implications of the study are discussed.

On the basis of data from a Danish nationwide representative survey, this article demonstrates, firstly, that virtual capital (compentence in using the internet) is a personal resource in its own right, independent of other types of personal resources. Secondly, it is demonstrated that there is a positive correlation between virtual capital and political parti- cipation and political efficacy. Thirdly, the article shows that for persons with a high level of virtual capital, the possession of virtual capital appe- ars to neutralize or overshadow the effect of education on political par- ticipation and political efficacy. The article points to the fact that the In- ternet enlarges the "opportunity structure" for the individual, thereby making it easier to find out about and participate in different activities, among these politics. Finally, the article discusses the question of whether "super-users" might be seen as (a part of) the so-called "creative class".

In general, the Internet is an arena where parents (as well as other adults) have limited insight and possibilities to support the young person. However, several studies indicate that parents are one of the most important facilitators in the every-day life of young persons with intellectual disabilities. Therefore, the aim of the current article is to highlight parents’ perceptions and actions in relation to opportunities and barriers for these young people when using the Internet. The empirical material consists of interviews with 22 parents of intellectually challenged young people in Sweden. The transcribed interviews were analysed using a thematic analysis, which is a method of identifying, analysing and reporting patterns within data sets. The results show that parents’ views are double-edged; on the one hand, they see great possibilities for their children, thanks to the Internet, but on the other hand, they are afraid that due to their disability, their children are more sensitive to different contents and interactions on the Internet. Furthermore, the results indicate that parents believe that the Internet can facilitate participation in social life, but that it precludes young people with intellectual disabilities from being part of society in general when it comes to community functions and services. This article will discuss barriers and support in relation to the individual and her or his support system, which brings into focus the parent’s responsibility and support for young people, helping them to surmount barriers – instead of avoiding or ignoring them – and find ways to take action to do so.

Introduction. The paper compares two approaches to the formation of the internet-sphere. The technocratic approach strengthens itself in the cybernetic-system methodology, it is based on the technocratic governance of society and implies the total governance of the internet-sphere in the interests of the government, the suppression of the individual personality by “programming” its consciousness. This approach is evidenced by “the system of social credit” in China.The deliberative-democratic approach emerges from phenomenology and substantiates an egalitarian model of democracy which implies a universal discussion and importance of the meanings sent by each person in the internet-sphere. The case of online-deliberative forums is analyzed. These forums serve to reveal the opinions of the citizens themselves and to define the genuine public opinion. The advantages of the second approach are identified.Materials and methods. This article uses logical methods of analysis: analysis, synthesis, comparative analysis.The results of the study. This study shows how the cybernetic-systemic methodology holistically analyzing society and assuming its programming “from top to bottom” leads to technocratic governance of society and the Internet. It also shows how the phenomenological approach aimed at perceiving the personal meanings of each citizen becomes the basis of deliberative democracy and online deliberative discussions.Discussion and conclusions. The paper arrives at the following conclusions. Serious risks produced by the use of the cybernetic-systemic principles in governing the Internet sphere are shown: programming the personality consciousness, emasculating the senses experienced by it, and regulating the entire social life. In contrast with the cybernetic approach, the advantages of the phenomenological approach are analytically shown, because it perceives the personal meanings of each individual and leads to their revealing in the Internet sphere, which creates the foundation for maintaining a democratic regime.
