Abstract: The relevance of our study is that in the modern world there is a great danger of the impact of computer games and network communication on the mental health of children. Also, the theoretical and practical aspects of creating psychological conditions for the prevention of gambling addictions in children have not been sufficiently developed. Thus, there exists a practical need to solve the problem of gambling addiction, and to explore the creation and testing of developments aimed at preventing this type of addiction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the risky internet behavior of adolescents. Our study involved 60 schoolchildren aged 10-14, who were subsequently divided into 57 groups by gender. We used psychological testing methods: the questionnaire "The level of computer game addiction" by O.M. Vidov; methodology "Indicator of coping strategies"; Kimberly-Young test for internet addiction; technique (MIG-TS). With the help of a theoretical analysis of the problem of risky Internet behavior, we determined that this is a complex construct that has various interpretations, the terminology is quite variable, in addition to the concept of "risk Internet behavior", the terms "Internet addiction" or "Internet addiction" are most often used in the literature. The general concept involves the definition of this phenomenon as a form of psychological dependence, which manifests itself in an obsessive passion for computer games, the subordination of one's choice to an external false goal and the achievement of progress in virtual gaming reality. As a result of the empirical study, it can be concluded that internet addiction affects the cooperative behavior of adolescents. The high frequency of using a technical tool is associated with the likelihood of signs of dependence, the structure of needs and the expansion of the bodily boundaries of adolescents, which has been fully confirmed.

Abstract: The digital world dictates its own rules for mastering the surrounding reality, where a greater role is given to cognitive functions and less to motor and sensory ones. Motor characteristics are included in all types of activity and testify to the real potentials, resources and reserves of the body as a whole. Usually, problems of sensorimotor development are expressed in clumsiness, poor coordination, delayed speech development, difficulties in sound pronunciation, and emotional and communication disorders. On the basis of LLC Scientific and Methodological Center Owl-Nyanka, a diagnostic procedure was created, the purpose of which is to determine the consistency of the sensorimotor spheres. The aim of the current study was to teach the effectiveness of solving sensory-motor tasks in children aged 5-6 years. The results were compared with the data on some subtests of the metric scale from N. Ozeretsky's studies of motor giftedness in children. Quantitative data on the motor activity of children aged 5-6 in the 1930s and 2021s were given using the subtest "Labyrinths". Based on the study, the following conclusions can be drawn: the time taken to solve sensorimotor tasks in children who passed the test in 2021 compared with children in 1930 decreased. At the same time, a decrease in accuracy was recorded: modern children made more mistakes when passing mazes. In addition, difficulties were found in orienting in the space of one's own body and in the task of maintaining balance. The importance of sensorimotor development in the functioning of cognitive processes, including abstract thinking, is emphasized both in the works of physiologists and psychologists of the last century (N.A. Bernshtein, B.G. Ananiev), and among contemporaries (E.A. Sergienko, B. M. Velichkovsky). In this regard, programs to study the dynamics of the formation and development of sensorimotor skills are relevant in the framework of preschool and school education.

RELATIONS BETWEEN THE INDICATORS OF INTERNET ADDICTION AND SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL ADJUSTMENT IN GIFTED HIGH SCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract: The current studies of internet addiction and its effects on academic achievement, emotional and social well-being of children and youth maintain their relevance in connection with the increasing role of digital technology in all areas of life. Much of the data indicate a positive role of internet activity in the development and realization of potential and self-improvement of gifted schoolchildren. However, studies often demonstrate negative influence of internet passion and overuse which is accompanied by increases in emotional, social and psychological problems, as such as problems of self-esteem, emotional estrangement, social isolation and loneliness in users who simultaneously display high intellectual abilities. However, the effects of internet addiction on intellectually gifted school children remain insufficiently understood. Hence, the current study consisted of comparing the indicators of socio-psychological adjustment in 80 academically gifted students in grades X andXI with different degrees of internet addiction. All participants were enrolled in a program of advanced education on mathematics based on their school achievements. The Internet Addiction Test by K. Young and the Methodology of Social-Psychological Adjustment by K. Rogers & R. Diamond were used. The data obtained demonstrated high variation of the degrees of internet addiction indices. Meanwhile, any case of veritable addiction among the participants was not revealed. No significant age and gender differences were found in the studied indicators, except for higher rates of adaptability and compliance in girls, as well as maladaptation and the desire for dominance in boys. Correlation analysis revealed significant and rather strong negative correlations between the following indicators of internet addiction and social-psychological adjustment: adaptation, self-acceptance, emotional comfort, internality, - and positive correlations with indicators of dominance and escapism. The results are consistent with the idea of the negative impact of internet addiction on the social well-being of gifted high school students.
