Abstract
The article summarizes the study findings, which led to the creation and standardization of the Adolescent Psychological Problems in Real and Virtual Environment Methodology. The empirical data collected throughout the study define the level of concern among modern teenagers, particularly that related to the online world. The authors also developed and standardized the Internet Immersion Index Methodology, identified relationships between the level of concern and theimmersion index, and devised strategies for coping with Internet addiction. The results were gathered on a sample of adolescents aged 13 to 17 between 2020 and 2022. The sample included 1,157 teenagers from St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. The techniques are theore tically founded, reflecting the authors’ view of the nature of this psychological problem, which they term as an emotion reflective approach. They also provide a theoretical rationale for the phenomenon of Internet immersion, which aided in the development of the aforementioned technique.
