Abstract

This article analyzes the socio-psychological impact of the information society and the digital environment on the socialization of modern youth. It is demonstrated that the digital environment transforms the communication culture and value system of young people, while triggering new psychological phenomena such as virtual identity, FoMO syndrome, and cyberbullying. Furthermore, practical recommendations for developing media immunity and digital hygiene among youth are put forward.
