Highlights
The active formation of the modern young generation, its mobility, curiosity and activity motivate society to create conditions for freer access to the World Wide Web, and this, in turn, leads to the formation of cyber-addictions of the individual
The views of medical and psychological experts have recently come down to a position that the cyber-addiction is a pathological attraction or disease which is classified as non-chemical addiction and has its own nosology, etiology, pathogenesis and requires prevention, treatment and psychocorrection. (Aymedov, Asieieva, & Cherevko, 2017; Bolbot, 2005; Jeong et al 2020; Molyako, 2013; Naydionova, 2017; Otte, Streb, Rasche, & Franke, 2019; Utz, 2015; Blachnio, Przepiorka, Benvenuti, Mazzoni, & Gwendolyn, 2019)
Some isolated studies to identify diagnostic signs of cyber-addiction and the lack of accurate statistics indicate a deficient level of research base on this topic
Summary
The active formation of the modern young generation, its mobility, curiosity and activity motivate society to create conditions for freer access to the World Wide Web, and this, in turn, leads to the formation of cyber-addictions of the individual. The emergence of this phenomenon can be influenced by various other negative factors, in particular: intolerance, alienation, loneliness, they are what make people look for an alternative, comfortable, virtual reality. This allows you to escape or hide from important difficulties, but not solve them. Thanks to social networks, our society has changed: it has become normal and even encourages to tell about themselves absolutely everything to everyone
