BSTRACT
The article considers the influence of social networks on the psycho-emotional state of students from a
pedagogical and psychological point of view. Key mechanisms for the influence of digital platforms on
emotional well -being were identified, including both risks (anxiety, dependence) and positive aspects
(social support, self -expression). Recommendations are proposed on the formation of a healthy digital
environment and the development of critical thinking in students. The results can be useful for
psychological and pedagogical support in the context of digitalization of education.

NTRODUCTION
A generation of modern students is formed in
conditions of deep digitalization, where social
networks become an integral part of everyday life,
educational
activities
and
interpersonal
communication. According to a number of studies,
the average student spends on social networks
from 2 to 5 hours a day. Such intensive interaction
with digital platforms affects the psycho -

emotional state of youth, forming new models of
communication, perception of themselves and
others, as well as emotional response. In this work,
an attempt is made to consider this phenomenon
from the pedagogical and psychological position, to
identify both potential risks and the possibilities
associated with the use of social networks by
students.
The relevance of the topic is due to the
contradictory nature of the influence of social
platforms on the psychological well -being of
students. On the one hand, they provide unique
opportunities for socialization, self -realization and
educational interaction, on the other hand, they
become a source of information stress, anxiety and
depressive conditions. In this regard, there is a
need to comprehend this phenomenon from the
standpoint of pedagogy and psychology to develop
effective strategies for supporting students in a
digital educational environment. The purpose of
this study is to identify key mechanisms for the
influence of social networks on the psycho-
emotional state of students and determine the
pedagogical and psychological approaches to the
formation of a healthy digital culture in the
educational space of the university. Theoretical
and methodological foundations of the study.
The study is based on an integrative approach that
combines the key provisions of cognitive, social
and pedagogical psychology, as well as modern
concepts of digital pedagogy. The methodological
basis is:
1. Cultural and historical theory of L.S. Vygotsky,
which allows us to consider social networks as
"cultural tools" that mediate the mental
development of modern students;
2. A cognitive-behavioral approach that reveals the
mechanisms of the formation of maladaptive
models of using social platforms;
3. The concept of information and psychological
security of the individual (G.V. Grachev, A.A. Rean);
4. Theory of social comparison (L. Festinger) and
its modern interpretations in the context of the
digital environment;
5. Ecological approach to understanding
educational environments (V.I. Slobodchikov, V.A.
Yasvin).
Research methods include the theoretical analysis
of scientific literature, the systematization of
empirical data of modern research, the method of
expert evaluation and comparative analysis of
pedagogical practices. Psycho -emotional effects of
using social networks by students. Positive aspects
of the influence of social networks. Analysis of
modern studies allows us to highlight a number of
positive effects of the effects of social platforms on
the psycho -emotional state of students:
1. Social support and overcoming isolation. Social
networks create additional space to obtain
emotional support, especially valuable during
periods of adaptation to a new educational
environment. Studies show that students actively
interacting with fellow students in digital space
demonstrate lower indicators of social anxiety and
loneliness.

2. Self -expression and formation of identity. Digital
platforms provide a variety of opportunities for the
construction and presentation of their “I”,
experimenting with various social roles, which is
especially important at the stage of students as a
period of intense personal self -determination.
3. Strengthening educational motivation and
involvement. Educational communities on social
networks can stimulate academic activity, create
an environment of healthy competition and mutual
support in the educational process.
4. Development of emotional intelligence. The
variety of communicative contexts in social
networks requires students of flexibility in
emotional response, the ability to recognize the
emotional states of interlocutors by indirect signs,
which contributes to the development of individual
components of emotional intelligence.
Negative aspects of the influence of social
networks. Along with positive effects, the use of
social networks can also have a destructive effect
on the psychoemotional sphere of students:
1. The phrases of "social comparison" and a
decrease in self -esteem. The constant comparison
of their life with idealized images of peers in social
networks leads to the formation of distorted
standards of success, strengthening dissatisfaction
with themselves and their achievements. This
effect is especially acute among students with an
initially low level of psychological well -being.
2. Information overload and digital stress. A
continuous flow of content on social networks
creates a cognitive load, which, combined with
academic stress, can lead to a depletion of the
adaptive resources of the psyche. In 42% of the
students
surveyed,
the
phenomenon
of
"information fatigue" is fixed, which manifests
itself in a decrease in concentration, increased
irritability and emotional burnout.
3. "Fomo syndrome" (Fear of Missing Out-fear of
missing the important). This phenomenon is
expressed in the obsessive anxiety that other
people participate in interesting events that the
individual misses. Students with a pronounced
Fomo syndrome have higher indicators of anxiety,
sleep disturbance and a decrease in academic
performance.
4. Cyber dependence and violation of self -
regulation. The compulsive use of social networks
leads to the formation of stable patterns of
dependent behavior, deformation of the self -
control
system
and
volitional
regulation.Particularly vulnerability in this regard
is demonstrated by students with insufficiently
formed skills in time management and emotional
self-regulation.
5. Cyberbulling and social rejection. The experience
of bullying in digital space has an extremely
negative impact on the psychological well -being of
students, increasing the risk of developing
depressive states and suicidal tendencies.
Pedagogical and psychological approaches to the
formation of a healthy digital culture
Diagnostics and monitoring of the psycho -
emotional state of students. Effective psychological
and pedagogical work should begin with a
comprehensive diagnosis of the features of the use

of social networks and their impact on the
emotional well-being of students. The use of the
following diagnostic tools is recommended:
1. Modified scale for assessing the intensity of using
social networks (ISNS-A).
2. Questionnaire "Emotional well -being in the
digital environment."
3. Screening methodology for identifying cyber
dependence in students;
4. A complex of projective techniques for
identifying latent emotional reactions to digital
communication.
Educational strategies for the development of
digital literacy The formation of a healthy digital
culture involves the integration of the following
components into the educational process of the
university:
1. Digital hygiene courses and media literacy,
focused on the development of critical thinking and
safe behavior skills on social networks. The content
of these courses should include not only technical
aspects, but also the psychological mechanisms of
exposure to digital content on the emotional
sphere [Dmitrieva, 2023].
2. Trainings of emotional self-regulation in a digital
environment aimed at developing attention
management skills, overcoming a Fomo syndrome
and constructive response to negative content.
3. Integration of reflective practices into the
educational process, contributing to a conscious
attitude to their own activity on social networks.
Effective tools are digital diaries, self -monitoring
techniques and group discussions.
Creation of a supporting educational environment
The formation of a psychologically safe educational
space involves:
1. Development of a corporate culture of using
social networks in an educational organization,
including the ethical principles of digital
communication and mechanisms for preventing
cyberbilling.
2. Creation of alternative spaces for real interaction
that compensate for excessive involvement in
virtual communication. Effective formats are
student clubs, creative workshops and informal
educational events.
3. Organization of Peer-to-Peer support of students
with the problematic use of social networks
implemented through the system of tutor and
psychological
mentoring.
Personalized
psychological
support.For
students
with
pronounced negative psycho -emotional effects of
using social networks, an organization of
individual psychological assistance is necessary,
including:
1. Cognitive-behavioral interventions aimed at the
restructuring of maladaptive beliefs regarding
digital self-presentation and social comparison.
2. Techniques for awareness and attentiveness
(MindFulness), contributing to the development of
the skills of the presence of "here and now" and a
decrease in dependence on virtual incentives.

ONCLUSION
The analysis indicates the need for a
comprehensive pedagogical and psychological
approach to the problem of the influence of social
networks on the psycho-emotional state of
students. The contradictory nature of this influence
requires differentiated strategies that take into
account
the
individual
psychological
characteristics of students, the specifics of the
educational environment of the university and the
current trends in the development of digital
platforms. The key principle of the formation of a
healthy digital culture should be the balance
between the use of social networks for the
educational and personal development of students
and the prevention of their negative impact on
psychological well -being. This involves the
integration of media education into the educational
process, the development of reflexive practices and
the creation of a supporting educational
environment.The development of specialized
diagnostic tools for the early detection of psycho-
emotional disorders related to social networks, as
well as the creation and testing of comprehensive
programs of psychological and pedagogical
support for students' digital socialization, are
promising.
