Analysis of the Relationship Between VK Users’ Psychological Characteristics and Subscriptions to Communities With Deviant Content
Recently, online social networks have become not only communication channels, but also instruments of influence, provoking various forms of deviant behavior: from socially disapproved, deviant to aggressive and delinquent behavior. The growing gap between the level of children’s and adolescents’ involvement in social networks and the understanding of the mechanisms of online information consumption and information influence in social networks determine the high importance of scientific research in this area. The rapid spread of online social networks into all spheres of life makes children and adolescents a target for destructive influence in connection with the yet non-formed mechanisms of adequate assessment of and resistance to negative information. However, the number of tragic cases connected with the content of Internet resources, especially social networks, among adolescents and young people is not decreasing. Despite the existing policy of countering and blocking Internet resources with prohibited information, the number of online communities and user accounts that distribute deviant content is constantly growing. In this regard, research on the psychological safety of children and adolescents using social networks, and the development of methods of protection against destructive informational influence on social networks are becoming extremely popular. The article presents the results of the analysis of the relationship between the psychological characteristics of schoolchildren and students - users of the social network VKontakte - and subscriptions to communities with deviant content; the analysis was carried out using machine learning algorithms and digital footprint data mining. To analyze the relationship between the psychological characteristics of VKontakte users and subscriptions to communities with deviant content, a study was carried out in three areas: psychodiagnostics of respondents using a168 specially developed online platform; research of the digital footprints of respondents using tools and algorithms for analyzing big data of VKontakte; study of the features of the content of VKontakte deviant communities. As a result of the study, the hypothesis about the connection between the psychological characteristics of VKontakte users and the consumption of deviant content was verified. Significant connections were found between extraversion, benevolence, consciousness, openness to experience, neuroticism, depression, anxiety, stress, and aggressiveness (with different levels of severity) with subscriptions to communities with dangerous and harmful content and the time of activity in the social network.
