Abstract
Aim: to identify the most important aspects of the influence of the digital educational environment (DEE) on the personality and psyche of university students.
Methodology. A theoretical study of the problem was carried out using a meta-study of 35 fulltext articles by foreign and Russian authors.
Results. The scientific literature touches upon the positive and negative aspects of the influence of DEE on the psyche, such as cognitive overload, attention disorders, speech reduction, increased fatigue, as well as the impact on the communicative, motivational, emotional and volitional spheres of the personality. However, these studies are quite contradictory and require additional reflection. The basis for such research in the future can be an environmental approach, implemented practically through the psychological support of the educational process in the conditions of the DEE.
Research implications lies in the conclusions and practical recommendations: DEE subjects are invited to pay attention to the creation of a safe DEE for the psyche of students, to the development of students' digital culture and on the formation of a single space of communication.
