Abstract

In the paper positive aspects of using cyberspace by yours are determined. The most dangerous risks and barriers to cyber socialization for modern young people are also noted. The types of young people’s cyber socialization are theoretically justified and discussed. Criteria for positive and negative cyber socialization are introduced. It is emphasized that the positive vector of cyber socialization is determined by the ability of a young person to transfer useful experience obtained in cyberspace to everyday life activity. On the basis of the theoretical analysis the levels of cyber socialization are identified and the main criteria for their diagnosis are presented. The importance of developing new technologies to facilitate positive forms of socialization of youth in cyberspace is noted. The prospects for further research include the creation of a questionnaire to identify the level and prevailing type of cyber socialization and its validation in a representative sample of young people.
