The article discusses the problem of the influence of digital space and the digital environment on the formation of social intelligence and educational motivation of adolescents. The features of the personality included in the digital space are presented and theoretically analysed. Contradictions in the ideas of the "digital personality" are noted. The empirical study revealed significant differences in such parameters as self-consciousness, self-regulation, empathy, sociability, self-motivation, personal meaning of learning, goal-setting, cognitive and internal motivation of learning among groups of adolescents with low, medium and high levels of digital activity. It was revealed that adolescents with high activity of digital behaviour have low indicators in terms of social intelligence (self-consciousness, self-regulation, empathy, sociability, self-motivation) and learning motivation (personal meaning of learning, goal-setting, cognitive and internal motivation of learning). Adolescents with medium and low levels of digital behaviour show average and high performance in these parameters. The study showed a significant relationship between low levels of digital activity and cognitive orientation, high digital activity and low self-motivation.
