“…These results are consistent with other studies in which it is concluded that mediated or "online" communication helps insecure people avoid the anxiety generated by direct interaction 16 , correlating their frequency of use with lower psychological well-being 19 , with the feeling of loneliness and the perception of lack of social skills in "offline" relationships 14,15 or self-esteem 18 . The use of VSN seems to provide social support in general, and on the part of friends in particular, when face-to-face relationships are more complicated, due to physical distance or psychological state.…”

“…This study corroborates the results found in other studies on the relationship between the use of social networks and "online" communication, psychological well-being and the perception of receiving social support through them [7][8][9][10][14][15][16][17][18][19] . The analyzes carried out reported statistically significant positive correlations between the perception of receiving social support through FSN by friends, as well as between VSN by family and friends regarding the frequency of the use of VSN.…”

“…Some authors 14,15 argue that frequent Internet users tend to be more alone, as well as having different values and a certain lack of emotional and social skills. Insecure people with low selfesteem are more likely to use e-mail than direct communication since e-mail helps them avoid interaction anxiety 16 . Several studies consider the chronic use of the Internet as a risk factor for the development of adverse psychological states such as feelings of loneliness, confusion, anxiety, depression, fatigue, development of addictive behaviors or deterioration of social skills 17 .…”

It is examined if the relationship empirically demonstrated between health and face-to-face social interactions is confirmed when it is virtual. The objective is to know if the perception of psychological well-being and receiving social support would explain the frequency of participation in virtual social networks (VSN). An ex-post-facto design was applied to a sample of 510 university Internet users (age, M = 22.89, SD = 5.67, 78.9% women). The level of psychological well-being (Spanish adaptation of the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale), social support (Family Social Support and Friends questionnaire - AFA) and the frequency of use of VSN are evaluated. To determine the relationships between the variables, correlation and hierarchical regression analyzes were carried out. The relative contribution of the perception of psychological well-being and of obtaining social support in the frequency of VSN use is confirmed, controlling the influences of age and gender. Specifically, the perception of having less ability to dominate the social environment and to obtain social support for friendships through VSN explains and allows predicting the increase in the frequency of use of such networks.

“…There are culturally conditioned peculiarities in online behavior of different people which, in turn, determine their attitudes, values, ideas and behavioral patterns. Online activity can also influence one's cognitive styles and behavior in reality (Attrill, 2016). Among other things, the studies indicate the link between individual-psychological personality traits and one's online behavior specifics (Rubtsova, Panfilova and Smirnova, 2018;Whitty et al, 2018), as well as the possibility of one's online behavior being influenced by different identities at various moments, depending on which one comes to the fore in certain situations (Helsper, 2014).…”

The authors made an attempt to describe the problem of developing the concept of risk assessment of deviant online behavior of minors and young adults in social networks. The article looks into the psychological consequences of banalizing of the internet, analysis possibilities for offline and online behavior. Approaches for risk factors assessment of deviant behavior in real life are described: the qualitative (clinical), statistical (actuarial) and structured. The article systemizes the studies of risk factors, vulnerability, and deviant patterns in the context of phenomena such as aggressive, asocial, auto-aggressive, self-mutilating, suicidal, risk-taking and victim online behavior. Approaches and models of online deviant behavior are discussed; an attempt is made to build a structured model of risk assessment of deviant patterns of online behavior in the context of the cultural historical concept. On the basis of theoretical analysis, a hypothetical set of group, interindividual and intraindividual constructs is formulated, the combination of online and offline risk factors produces a model for risk assessment of deviant behavior. The article is written as part of the research project “Developing the profiling model of online behavior of minors and young adults in social networks” which was initiated by the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education.
