The present work is devoted to the study of the interdisciplinary problem about the influence of Internet technologies on the children’s mental development and behavior the correlation between temperament traits (the model of «integral individuality»), problematic Internet use, subjective psychological well being among adolescents. Study participants: Muscovites N = 90, native language - Russian. Teenagers 15-18 years old N = 54 (M=16.167, SD=0.863) and young people (19-25) N = 36. The main conclusions of the study are confirmed by the evidence base of social neuroscience, modern psychology: some of the individual characteristics that belong to the structure of temperament (Rusalov, Trofimova, 2007, 2011) («Neuroticism», «Motor-physical Endurance», «Motor-physical Tempo», «Impulsivity») should be considered as prognostic components of a complex of factors predisposing («for better and for worse») to the formation of problematic Internet use, and to the individual subjective perception of «psychological well being» (based on the integrity and the continuity of individual development under the influence of various environmental conditions) (Genetics of Personality Consortium, 2015; Cloninger et al., 2019; Morrow, Flagel, 2016; Plomin, 2018; Buss, Plomin, 2014; Shiner, Caspi, 2012). When comparing age groups, clustering and factor analysis (the total percentage that explains the first factor (27.871%), the first two factors gave 42.517%, etc., and all 5 factors together explain 73.131% of the total variance), these conclusions about correlation connections were confirmed.
