Abstract
What happens to a person’s identity when they dive into the virtual world, joining online communities or being active on the Internet otherwise? Does the identity remain the same or does something new arise? We would like to answer this question in this article by considering the concept and statuses of virtual identity — a technologically mediated image of the “I”, modeled by the user himself in a virtual environment, in relation to the user’s personality. For this purpose, we used an original questionnaire which was developed by us to assess the status of virtual identity among 268 students aged 17 to 24 years. The materials of the article form the basis for future psychological studies of identity in the digital space.
