Main Problem: The article examines the problem of developing communication skills in adolescents with Internet addiction as one of the most relevant forms of behavioral addiction in the context of digitalization of modern society. A theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign studies has revealed the relationship between the severity of Internet-dependent behavior and the peculiarities of the communicative sphere of adolescents, including the level of social anxiety, empathy, communicative competence, self-regulation and confidence in interpersonal contacts. Objective: The purpose of the study was to identify and analyze the psychological and individual-typological features of communication in adolescents, as well as to determine the severity of Internet addiction at various stages of its formation. Method: The research methodology is based on an integrated approach, including the analysis of scientific literature, the systematization of theoretical concepts, as well as the use of empirical methods of psychodiagnostics (testing, questionnaires, quantitative and qualitative data analysis). Results and their significance: The results obtained indicate the presence of statistically significant differences in indicators of communicative competence among adolescents with different levels of Internet addiction. The necessity of considering individual psychological characteristics of a personality in the development and implementation of prevention and psychocorrection programs has been confirmed, which provides a basis for creating targeted interventions to reduce social anxiety and improve interpersonal skills in this risk group.
