“…At the same time, modern socialization has an important new component, which is called cyber socialization and is associated with that part of socialization processes that are carried out using digital technologies, i.e., in fact, through various interactions carried out in a specific part of the space of human existence -cyberspace (see, e.g., Lenkov and Rubtsova, 2022). At the same time, the contribution of cyber socialization to the total array of socialization processes has been rapidly increasing in recent years, including under the influence of such force majeure factors as the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

The article considers the relationship between the cyber socialization engagement and the Dark Tetrad of personality (Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism). The cyber socialization engagement was understood, according to the author’s concept, as having constructive and destructive components. The study purpose was to identify correlation and deterministic relationships between indicators of the cyber socialization engagement and the Dark Tetrad among young university students. The sample included 424 students from Russian universities. For measurements, «The cyber socialization engagement questionnaire» and «The Short Dark Tetrad Scale» were used. It has been established that the relationship between the indicators of the cyber socialization engagement and the Dark Tetrad has a qualitatively heterogeneous character – from the complete absence of connections to mutual determination. The strongest mutual determination is associated with the everyday sadism: it increases the destructive engagement in cyber socialization, explaining 12% of the total variance, and the latter, in turn, increases the severity of sadism (10.5%). It is advisable to take into account the revealed connections between the general cyber socialization engagement and the Dark Tetrad of the personality when organizing psychological support for the socialization of students in the context of expanding social interactions carried out in cyberspace.
