Abstract

The results of a study of the interests of adolescents on the VKontakte social network and the degree to which their goals are expressed in life are presented using the “Goal in Life” scale of D.A. Leontyev’s questionnaire of meaningful life orientations and the author’s profile of interests. The study showed that life sense of purpose is higher for those adolescents who choose topics of making money and gaining popularity on social networks and lower for those who are looking for content on topics of life and death on social networks. The choice of themes of love of friendship and humor was not related to the life determination of adolescents.
