Abstract

The article is a continuation (Part II) of the study by the authors of the connection between the structure of identity and the nature of information consumption by young people. Based on the results of cluster, factorial and univariate analysis of variance conducted as part of an empirical search study on the Internet in 2021 (a survey of 1,010 respondents using the author's questionnaire, which allows to determine the nature of information consumption and the structure of identity), the authors find confirmation of the following hypotheses: 1) the nature information consumption is associated with the structure of youth identity; 2) the structure of identity at a statistically significant level differs in different age groups. The assumption that the younger the respondent, the less he will turn to traditional media and more often to the Internet as a source of information, was only partially confirmed in the conducted empirical research, and the hypothesis that the forms of information consumption differ among groups with different dominant identities has not been confirmed. Based on the data obtained, the authors make the assumption that in different age periods among young people, depending on the nature of information consumption, the formation of different identity structures occurs.
