THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DISEMBODIMENT AND CHANGES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL BORDERS AS THE NORMATIVE IMPLICATIONS OF THE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

Основанный на концепции британского экзистенциального психолога Р. Лэйнга конструкт невоплощенности в интернете (Н. В. Коптева, А. Ю. Калугин, Л. Я. Дорфман) посредством одноименной методики сопоставляется с системообразующим последствием нормативного применения интернета – изменением психологических границ в методике их оценки (МИГ-ТС-2) Е. И. Рассказовой, В. А. Емелина, А. Ш. Тхостова. Выявлены взаимосвязи измерений невоплощенности в интернете с параметрами изменения психологических границ, которые могут свидетельствовать о том, что искусственное технологическое разделение между ментальным Я и физическим телом пользователя создает предпосылки путаницы на границе между Я и не Я. Расширение и размывание границ интернет-пользователя усиливают его виртуализацию и соответствующие ей переживания деперсонализации, утраты реальности независимо от того, оправдывает или не оправдывает технология его ожидания достижимости и контролируемости окружающих людей, объектов и информации. Мотивация предпочтения интернета, связанная с возможностями, которые открывают независимость от физического тела и измененные границы, в значительной мере совпадает. Простота и легкость развоплощенного технологического способа бытия в расширенных, размытых границах придают привлекательность сети и объясняют связь невоплощенности с интернет-зависимостью, которую можно представить как искажение нормативного технологического развоплощения в случае проблемной пользовательской активности. In the present study we compare the construct of disembodiment on the Internet (N. V. Kopteva, A.Ju. Kalugin, L.Ya. Dorfman) based on the clinical conception by the British existential psychologist R. Laing and measured by the same-name technique to the framework consequence of the normative use of the Internet - changes of the psychological borders (E. I. Rasskazova, V. A. Emelin and A. Sh. Tkhostov) assessed by MIG-TS-2 technique. We identified the relationship between measurements of disembodiment and parameters of changes of psychological borders which may indicate that artificial technological split between the mental self and the physical body of a user creates conditions for confusion on the boundary between self and non-self. Expansion and blurring of the borders of an Internet user reinforces virtualizationinduced experiences of depersonalization and loss of reality regardless of whether the technology meets their expectations of availability and controllability of other people, objects and information or doesn’t. Motivation of Internet preference due to the opportunities that independence of the physical body and changes of boundaries present mostly follows the same pattern. Simplicity and easiness of the disembodied technological way of being within the expanded blurry borders makes the Web attractive and explains the relationship between the disembodiment and Internet addiction which can be viewed as distortion of normative technological disembodiment in cases of problematic user’s activity.

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).

Profiles of Internet Use and Health in Adolescence: A Person-Oriented Approach

(1) Background: Internet use has become an integral part of adolescents’ daily lives. It is important to understand how adolescents use the internet, and how this use is associated with demographic factors and health from a person-oriented perspective. (2) Methods: The study applied the Finnish nationally representative HBSC data (persons aged 11, 13, and 15, n = 3408), descriptive observation, latent class analysis, and multinomial logistic regression analysis. (3) Results: Entertainment activities (listening to music) and socially oriented activities (liking posts, talking online) were the most prevalent among adolescents, but gender differences emerged. Five different internet user profiles were identified (encompassing interest-driven, friendship-driven, abstinent, irregular, and excessive users). Interest-driven users participated in interest- and media-oriented activities. Adolescents in the interest-driven user group were more likely to be boys and participants with low academic achievement, high parental monitoring, and high problematic social media use. Friendship-driven users participated in socially oriented activities. Adolescents in the friendship-driven user group were more likely to be girls and participants aged 13 or 15, with high peer and family support. Abstinent users participated only in entertainment, while irregular users showed no particularly high involvement in any internet activity. Adolescents in the abstinent and irregular user groups were likely to be boys and participants aged 11 with high family support. Excessive users had high involvement in internet activities overall.
