Abstract

The period of restrictions on social contacts introduced by the governments of different countries increased the time spent by users in social networks.

The research used the observation method and questionnaires to collect data for this research. The sample for the research consisted of 300 students between ages of 18 and 22, who were purposively sampled. Using content analysis and the statistical program for social sciences, the collected data were analyzed. As a result of the study, it was established that the Internet activity of students in social networks in the context of an epidemiological threat and globalization in general, determines the level of development and the content framework of a person's self-attitude. Keywords: activity; epidemiological threat; social network; manifestations of activity; self-attitude
