Abstract
The relevance of the study is due to the increasing penetration of Internet technologies not only in the world of adults, but also in the world of children. The risks associated with this process are obvious, but not yet fully realised. It is also necessary to understand what provokes children's withdrawal into the virtual world of the Internet, and what is a defence against such withdrawal. The aim of our research was to study the role of frustration of the need to achieve success in learning activities in the formation of Internet addictions. The research methods were the questionnaire "Internet Addiction Test" by Kimberly Young, "School Anxiety Test" by Phillips, comparative analysis, correlation analysis. The study involved 4640 students of 7-11th grades from 120 schools of the Yaroslavl region. The study was conducted in a remote form using electronic forms of Yandex. The main results of the study can be considered to be the description of the dynamics of the level of frustration of the need to achieve success in learning activities and Internet addiction from class to class, the identification of correlation between these indicators at a high level of significance (p<0.001) and the description of the features of their interaction at different stages of Internet addiction formation. As a conclusion, it can be noted that initially it is the frustration of the need for achievement that determines and contributes to the formation of Internet addiction in students. And at the next stage, when the addiction is formed, it is Internet addiction that determines the measure of frustration of the need for achievement. Thus, firstly, the lack of success situations in the life of schoolchildren pushes them to immerse in the Internet space, and then immersion in the Internet space becomes the cause of dissatisfaction with the need for success.
