Self-identification and representations of information environment in university students

The paper presents the results of a study of the individual and personality characteristics of information interaction based on a subjective assessment of the model of interpersonal relationships and perception of the Internet. The relevance of the study is associated with the current trend towards an expanded understanding of the communicative and, more broadly, the information space in connection with the creation of a specific flexible subject-oriented educational environment. The empirical study involved three groups of indicators: self-esteem and personality identification characteristics; subjective assessment of interaction on the Internet; characteristics of an individual model of communicative space. The analysis reviled structural associations between the characteristics of self-identification, representations of Internet interaction, and the characteristics of interpersonal relationships, as well as the features of the characteristics under consideration for the subgroups with different levels and types of self-esteem. The main hypothesis is verified by means of correlation analysis for nonparametric data.
