Abstract

Deviant behavior of a teenager is the result of a complex interaction

of various factors. The socio-psychological study of the new digital generation

is one of the most relevant topics both in modern science and practice.

The purpose of the study is to determine the psychological characteristics,

emotional state and suicidal risk of adolescents in the context of the digitalization

of society. Research methods included clinical conversation, Questionnaire

of suicide risk, Pathocharacterological diagnostic questionnaire

(PDO) for adolescents based on the classifi cation of character accentuations

by A.E. Lichko (), Suicidal risk questionnaire by A.G. Shmelev, modifi

ed by T.N. Razuvaeva (), the Method of diagnosing socio-psychological

adaptation of K. Rogers and R. Diamond in the adaptation of A.K. Osnitsky

(), test “Family sociogram”, correlation and regression analysis of suicidal

risk factors. The study involved  adolescents from secondary school

No.  in Samara, aged  to  years ( boys and  girls). All  surveyed

adolescents actively use available online resources as sources of educational

and entertaining content, and online communication platforms. Reliably

signifi cant psychological factors of suicidal risk in adolescents in the context

of digital socialization have been established, such as: affectivity, failure, social

pessimism, breaking down cultural barriers, maximalism, negative time

perspective, labile, psychasthenic and sensitive types of accentuations, dysfunctional

family relationships. Based on the data obtained, a mathematical

regression model for predicting suicidal risk was developed, which included

signifi cant psychological factors: IP) - (. * A) + (. * NVS), where D - demonstrativeness, SP - social pessimism, M - maximalism, C - sensitive type

of accentuation, IP - a tendency to true suicide, A - adaptation, NVS - violations

of relationships in family. Thus, the behavior of adolescents is the result

of a complex interaction of socio-psychological factors, in the development

of which digital socialization plays a signifi cant role. We have concluded that

digital socialization today, on the one hand, helps the process of personality

formation, its adaptation and integration in society, and on the other hand,

there is the emergence of new risks in the online environment: content, communication,

consumer. The high reliability of the forecast in the model of

the suicidal risk formation was established, which is %. Early detection

of suicidal risk in modern adolescents of the new digital generation makes it

possible to carry out timely prevention of suicidal behavior.
