Abstract
The results of an empirical study of the correlation of characteristics of anti-sexual behavior and types of cyber aggression among representatives of modern youth are presented. It has been revealed that the leading type of manifestation of cyber aggression among young people is verbalvisual, which is significantly interrelated with anti-sexual characteristics (anti-sexual experiences, anti-sexual thoughts and actions, loneliness, distrust, fear of negative evaluation, microsocial conflict). Anti-sexual thoughts and actions are more pronounced in the first year. Anti-sexual experiences are a predictor of verbal-visual cyber aggression. Recommendations are offered to teachers, supervisors, and university psychologists in the framework of developing resilience skills and socially acceptable ways of responding to life situations, developing constructive virtual communication skills.
