The data from world researches of gifted adolescents who are addicted from the virtual environment and their peers is presented in the article. The
theoretical foundations of gifted adolescents’ addiction prevention from the virtual environment are
presented. Various currents of researchers' views on
the adolescents’ giftedness factor and the associated addiction risks on the virtual environment are
shown. Conclusions about the urgent need to prevent
this phenomenon are drawn. The risk factors for the
addiction emergence of gifted adolescents on the virtual environment have been identified. The model of
addiction prevention on the virtual environment is
described.
Teenage age – transitional age which is characterized by all systems of an organism formation.
During this period perhaps unstable condition of
the teenager’s nervous system strengthened by daily
stressor which accumulatingly can generate a stress.
All these factors can provoke an Internet-dependent
behavior emergence among the presented and not
gifted teenagers therefore prospect of further researches is gifted teenagers’ dependence on the virtual environment correction program creation.
On the given results basis of the world researches
on dependence on the virtual environment, namely
Internet dependence, we had a vision of gifted teenagers’ dependence process which we presented in
the form of dependence prevention theoretical model
which we also use further in practice. According to
our model of gifted teenagers’ dependence prevention on the virtual environment, personal labour
is the component bringing out of dependence. The
steady condition of a teenager’s nervous system is a
basis of dependence prevention. The autonomy of the
teenager’s identity is an integrated basis of dependence prevention on the virtual environment.
Facing considered by us researches’ results
about increase in destructive use of the Internet by
teenagers, further work on prevention and correction of gifted teenagers’ dependence on the virtual
environment seems necessary to us.
