SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON THE FORMATION OF A CULTURE OF TOLERANCE AMONG ADOLESCENTS

The article examines the modern socio-psychological problem of loneliness in adolescents. Living conditions are currently characterized by a high level of information technology development. As a result, new thinking and new behavioral strategies are formed, which are reflected in the process of individual socialization. It is noted that due to the intensive digitization of society, prerequisites arise for the social isolation of the individual, the formation of loneliness. This negatively affects the formation of tolerant behavior among the younger generation. To study this phenomenon, an empirical study was conducted on adolescents’ attitudes to loneliness and its relationship to communication skills. The results obtained can be used in the practical activities of psychologists, teachers and educators.
