Abstract
The rapid development of digital technologies and the widespread use of the Internet entail the massive introduction of the Internet space into the life of every member of society. In the political sphere, the formation of the Internet space as an institution of political socialization took place, which presented not only prospects, but also problems of political socialization of young people in the Internet space. In this regard, the Internet space has a significant impact on the political socialization of young people. The purpose of the study is to study the role of the Internet space as a socio-political institution in the process of political socialization of young people. The research materials provide a theoretical analysis of the concept of "political socialization", its stages and types. The main attention is paid to the Internet space, its properties that influence the formation of political socialization of young people. The works of such foreign authors as G. Almond, S. Verba, E. Fromm, B. Skinner, R. Merton, G. Tarde, D. Easton, D. Dennis, R. Hessa, J. Thorney, F. Greenstein were analyzed. The theoretical analysis of the problem was supplemented by the works of the following domestic authors: E.B. Shestopal, Y.R. Khairullin, N.A. Golovin, A.V. Klyueva, I.A. Shcheglov. To identify trends in the political socialization of young people in Russia, the level of political interest, activity, literacy, such methods as content analysis and survey were used. The content analysis was used for a comparative study of VTSIOM and FOMA data on the popularity of Internet use among young people, on the involvement of young people in political events and events; as well as percentages by year on participation in presidential elections and political parties. As well as data from the Levada Center on youth interest in politics. A methodology has been developed and tested aimed at studying the activity of modern LSTU youth in the political life of the country and the region. Criteria and levels of formation of political socialization among young people have been developed. Content analysis allowed us to study the number of young people who use the Internet and social networks on a daily basis, as well as content analysis for 2019-2020. about the youth's interest in political events and involvement in the political life of the country. Content analysis of VTSIOM and FOM data for 2003-2018 revealed the level of youth activity in the elections, the level of trust in the government and the president. The analysis and comparison of the data obtained during the content analysis and the survey showed a low level of: youth interest in political events; participation in the political life of the country; political literacy and, as a result, a low level of political socialization of young people. To identify the effectiveness of the process of socialization in the Internet space, a survey was developed in which students of LGTU took part. The survey questions were constructed in such a way as to reveal the level of political literacy, the level of interest in political events, the ability to find sources of information, the ability to analyze political information. The survey results are presented in the form of diagrams, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the data obtained is presented. The conducted methods revealed a tendency of low interest in political events among citizens, lack of involvement in the political life of the country, low level of political literacy. All these are risks of political socialization in the Internet space. Equal involvement of political institutions of socialization in the process of formation of youth in the political sphere is necessary. This requires control by the political institutions of socialization of the family and school, as well as technologies to increase the effectiveness of the Internet space as a political institution of socialization. In conclusion, recommendations are given to improve the efficiency of the process of political socialization in a modern digital society. The results of the study can be applied in determining the strategic directions of the youth policy of the region, to increase interest in the political processes of young people, to involve the younger generation in political life. The recommendations can be used by socio-political institutions to increase the effectiveness of the process of political socialization of young people.
