The article examines the network identity as a phenomenon of person’s self-consciousness associated with the development and introduction of the Internet space into our everyday life. It has become an important condition for the socialization of a person and provides more and more opportunities for interaction and communication in the course of information technologies development.
Studying the network identity of students is of particular interest. The study covered students from two Russian regions, Kalmykia and Tuva (146 students from Kalmyk State University and 144 students from Tuvan State University). A set of techniques was used consisting of the questionnaire “Aspects of the Network Identity” (I. M. Bogdanovskaya, T. A. Flenina); the Kuhn-McPartland test “Who Am I?” modified by T. A. Flenina (“Who Am I Online?”). For analysis, we have selected components indicative of the process of self-development and emotional experience of students in the network space.
The content of cognitive and behavioral as well as affective components capturing the main students’ reasons for self-development and self-presentation in the Internet space has been identified: a sense of their significance, a desire to make contacts with others, getting a benefit, awareness of their “I”, etc. As a result of the correlation analysis, we have highlighted the following strategies of the student youth for self-expression and self-realization: the acquiring strategy (new knowledge, skills, contacts, etc.), the transformation strategy (qualitative development of students’ personalities and behavior, refocusing on other and more effective actions); the emotional strategy (development of the sensual sphere, getting new feelings and sensations).
It has been found out that the network identity structures of Kalmyk and Tuvan students are homogeneous. The difference is that students from Tuva indicate social and role characteristics in the network interaction, while students from Kalmykia are more emotionally involved in the Internet space.
