Internet Socialization of Adolescents in the Context of Deviance

The article discusses scientific approaches to the definition of adolescent deviance, the definition of deviant socialization of adolescents, the characteristics of moral development, beliefs, communication, subculture of modern adolescents in an open information space. The author defines the specifics of the addictive trajectory of socialization of adolescents using the example of the Internet as an addictive agent. The specificity of the formation of the identity of a virtual personality is analyzed. The addictive trajectory of socialization is a vector of deviant socialization, manifests itself as the internalization of deviant addictive patterns arising on the basis of social maladjustment, which allows one to receive positive emotions from activity, as a result of which addictive behavior is fixed in the personality as a multifactorial event caused by the polycausal structure of conditions: genetic, neurobiological, epidemiological, sociological and psychological. The essence of addictive socialization lies in the individual’s mastering of special knowledge and skills, changing the way of life, introducing him to the addictive subculture and allowing him to adapt in it, when a distorted reflection of reality forms an idea of the possibility of coping with life with the help of addictive agents.
