Abstract
The article features the problem of Internet use motivation among students. This phenomenon is discussed in conjunction with such criteria of personal development as time perspective of the individual and socio-psychological adaptation. The paper describes some results of a study that identifies the relationship of the parameters of individual temporal perspective, motivation for Internet use and potential socio-psychological adaptation in university students, where the main temporary modus is individual psychological present during the period of study in a higher education institution. It reveals a correlative significance of indicators between selected options, and compares the selected time of the mode with the driving motivation for Internet usage and indicators of Internet addiction. It is revealed that for students the leading motives of Internet usage are business, self-realization, self-assertion and communication. It is shown that the Internet is of highest significance for students with strong hedonistic present, negative past and fatalistic present. This group of students demonstrates reduced indicators of sociopsychological adaptation, which makes it possible to point out the compensatory nature of Internet use among the respondents with negative attitude to the semantic loci of individual temporal perspective. The results of the study define the trends of crisis situations occurrence in students and can be used by psychological services of higher education institutions to develop socio-psychological adaptation of students, as well as to prevent Internet addiction.
