agency

The relevance of the research is determined by the two factors. Firstly, there is a social demand to identify and support gifted people, who represent an inalienable capital and a resource for the innovative development of society. Secondly, it is important to identify the determinants and mechanisms of giftedness in ontogenetic, socio-cultural and socio-psychological contexts.

This study is relevant because socio-psychological well-being of children is rarely researched due to the diffi culty in identifying its indicators, which vary at diff erent stages of primary socialization. A partial solution to this problem is feasible if the concept of “socio-psychological well-being” is developed and its operationalization and psychometric verifi cation of the model on a specifi c age sample are conducted. The aim of this study is to carry out a psychometric verifi cation of the structure of socio-psychological well-being.

The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that implementing timely psychological prevention of social media addiction, while taking into account age-specifi c characteristics, creates conditions for a person to develop agency that can regulate their behavior in online communication based on universal human values aligned with the cultural and moral values of the Russian society. The research objective is to identify the psychological factors that contribute to the development of agency in young people who are highly addicted to social media.
