We invite you to a public lecture "The Impact of Digitalization on the Mental and Psychosocial Development of Children and Adolescents" on September 21 at 12:00 PM.

Today's children are immersed in the digital space from birth. The digitalization of the social space has a huge impact on the mental and psychosocial development of children. The psychological-pedagogical problem lies not in restriction or adaptation, but in the child's integration into the appropriate environment.

The lecture will analyse:

  • Digitalization of the environment as a positive factor in development.
  • Risks of the negative impact of digitalization on the mental and psychosocial development of children.
  • Mental development of children and adolescents in the context of digitalization (memory, attention, thinking, speech, etc.).
  • Psychosocial development of children and adolescents in the context of digitalization of society (communication, self-esteem, socialization).

The lecture will be useful and interesting for teachers, parents, educators, child psychologists, undergraduate, specialist, and master's students studying in various psychological fields, beginning practical psychologists, and specialists in related professions.

Speaker:

  • Elena Leonidovna Buslaeva – Associate Professor at the Department of Legal Psychology and Law, Faculty of Legal Psychology; Candidate of Psychological Sciences.
