2.1. Review of the research literature 
and the extent of the problem.
Within the article, social health 
is considered in the context of two 
theories: the theory of socialization and 
the theory of youth as well as the 
sociological concept of risk developed 
by V.I. Zubkov [44]. 
While describing the social 
health of youth, it is worth turning to the 
World Health Organization (WHO), 
which 
interprets 
health 
as 
an 
interdisciplinary concept based on the 
prevailing and accepted social model of 
health status (which includes not only the 
physical, somatic and psychological 
capabilities of a person), but also social 
resources [World Health Organization, 
2008]. Since social factors play a 
dominant role in shaping youth health, 
this focuses us on considering social 
health in a broader context [4]. The 
authors define the concept of social 
health of student youth as a condition 
caused by a specific socio-economic 
environment and the situation in society. 
Similar issues are in the focus of 
scientific interests of foreign and 
domestic sociologists, such as W. 
Cockerham [3], O. Manor, S. Matthews, 
[22], D. Trenton [36]; R.A. Zobov, V.N. 
Kelasyev [43], L.V. Kolpina [17], T.B. 
Sergeeva [31], T.B. Sokolova [33], A.N. 
Soshnev [35] and many others. The 
definition of social health of youth from 
the point of the interaction of the 
individual and society, proposed by TB 
Sergeeva [31] and I.N. Komarova [16], 
is of particular interest for our study. 
Moreover, the presence of social 
contacts is an important point for the 
formation of social health of youth. 
L.V. 
Vedernikova, 
O.G. 
Byrdina and O.A. Povorznyuk consider 
the process of shaping the social health 
of students through the prism of the 
process of their socialization (including 
the process of cyber socialization) [38]. 
In 
the 
framework 
of 
sociological conceptualization in the 
thesis of M.A.Danilova, the role of the 
Internet in the process of professional 
socialization of student youth is 
considered in the context of the analysis 
of all institutional agents of youth 
socialization. As a result of this analysis, 
the author came to the conclusion about 
the construction of a new type of

personality among young generations 
(Homo virtualis) - a person focused on 
the phenomenon of virtual reality, a 
carrier and consumer of virtual culture; 
moreover, this person gets at his disposal 
a range of possible socialization 
trajectories in a rapidly changing Internet 
space as part of the functioning of the 
information society. All this, according 
to M.A. Danilova, significantly increases 
the importance of cyber socialization of 
student youth [5]. In this case, “the 
number of information channels used in 
the process of Internet socialization 
increase the status of the student’s 
personality” [24]. 
The social health of youth is 
characterized as a certain state that arises 
and develops in the process of 
socialization of the individual as a 
whole, and cyber socialization in the 
modern 
information 
society,
