Empirically, it was shown that a predisposition to the computer addiction formation is caused by: orientation to the self, a tendency to compete and dominate. In field of interpersonal relationships characters, critical are their unconstructive dominant and aggressive style. Within the flattened motivational structure of adolescents, developmental trends were secondary ones, as for the communications, — the value of the real was reduced and of virtual ones — increased. They were characterized by domination of high level of personal anxiety, by temper tantrums and affective reactions in situations where it comes to competence, prestige, self-esteem, relationships, etc. Psychological preventive work with adolescents with propensity to computer addiction, should be aimed at correcting the communication sphere, the motivational structure and personal qualities, for leading personality activities — communication with peers.
