Informational socialization in changing information space

Abstract

Methodological and methodical bases of informational socialization are considered, specificity of culturological, psychological and technological aspects of informational culture is described. The importance of informational socialization in contemporary vague and changing reality is shown. Studies of information perception prove that emotional attitude and the level of trust in information obtained from different sources, as well as perception of a form and other external parameters of different objects of the surrounding world, depend on respondents’ age and place of residence. It is also shown that with age the level of trust in new types of information decreases while dependence of information transmitted by significant others increases. However, objects identification and content analysis of information reports are in a greater degree due to individual characteristics and information awareness of the respondents and in a lesser degree due to the respondents’ age.
