Словесное насилие в цифровой культуре стало значимой социальной проблемой, особенно в контексте взаимодействия несовершеннолетних. Взаимодействие в онлайн-среде может оказывать как позитивное, так и негативное влияние на социальные и когнитивные процессы. Данное исследование направлено на изучение последствий словесного насилия в цифровых коммуникациях на динамику и качество группового взаимодействия среди подростков. В работе использовались методы анкетирования и наблюдения. Анкетирование охватило 230 подростков в возрасте 12–17 лет. Наблюдение проводилось в течение шести месяцев в онлайн-группах социальных сетей. Для анализа данных применялись качественные и количественные методы, включая контент-анализ сообщений и статистические модели для выявления корреляций между агрессивным поведением и характером группового взаимодействия. Исследование показало, что подростки, подвергавшиеся словесному насилию в цифровой среде, демонстрируют снижение включенности в работу групп. Это выражалось в пассивности, избегании общения или конфликтных формах поведения. Малоустойчивые группы, в которых уровень агрессии был выше стандартного, со временем распадались чаще, чем группы с низким уровнем агрессии. Кроме того, наличие словесного насилия связано с формированием негатива к участникам групп и снижением доверия между их членами. Анализ также выявил, что девочки более чувствительны к вербальному насилию, а мальчики чаще становились его инициаторами. Результаты подтверждают гипотезу о разрушительных последствиях словесного насилия для групповых процессов взаимодействия. Подростки, находящиеся в агрессивной цифровой среде, оказываются в зоне риска социальной изоляции и конфликта. Для минимизации негативного влияния вербальной агрессии требуется внедрение образовательных программ и цифровой этики. Выявленные результаты могут быть использованы для разработки профилактических мер в образовательных и социальных учреждениях.
Verbal violence in digital culture has become a significant social problem, especially in the context of underage interactions. Interaction in an online environment can have both positive and negative effects on social and cognitive processes. This study is aimed at studying the effects of verbal violence in digital communications on the dynamics and quality of group interaction among adolescents. The methods of questioning and observation were used in the work. The survey included 230 adolescents aged 12-17 years. The observation was conducted for six months in online social media groups. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to analyze the data, including content analysis of messages and statistical models to identify correlations between aggressive behavior and the nature of group interaction. The study showed that teenagers who have been verbally abused in a digital environment show a decrease in their involvement in the work of groups. This was expressed in passivity, avoidance of communication, or conflicting behaviors. Low-resistance groups, in which the level of aggression was higher than the standard, broke up more often over time than groups with a low level of aggression. In addition, the presence of verbal violence is associated with the formation of negativity towards group members and a decrease in trust between their members. The analysis also revealed that girls were more sensitive to verbal abuse, while boys were more likely to initiate it. The results confirm the hypothesis about the destructive effects of verbal violence on group interaction processes. Teenagers in an aggressive digital environment find themselves at risk of social isolation and conflict. To minimize the negative impact of verbal aggression, the introduction of educational programs and digital ethics is required. The revealed results can be used to develop preventive measures in educational and social institutions.
