Abstract

The goal of this research is to examine the characteristics of young people's virtual communication, their impact on the psychological characteristics, lifestyle and socialization of a given social group. In order to determine the function of virtual communication in young people's lives, a literature and document analysis, an expert survey, and a sociological survey were all conducted for this goal. As a result of the study, it became clear that virtual communication has a great involvement in the lives of young people, which can cause a number of sociopsychological problems in the latter. Virtual contact also causes a certain dependence among the specified social group, becoming normal and depriving them of visual contact and face-to-face meetings. Hence, they become aggressive, not resistant to stress, lose touch with reality, their relations with family members and parents are disturbed. The misuse of virtual interaction is detrimental to learning as well. The majority of young people spend the bulk of their waking hours on various social media platforms, which prevents them from physically participating in educational activities. It should be noted that virtual communication in many cases attracts young people, the latter try to make new friends and like-minded people in this way.
