Adrian Socol

psychologist

Adrian Socol is a psychologist who focuses on the generational divides created by the digital age. He argues that today's adolescents not only reject their parents' values but also inhabit a fundamentally different reality shaped by digital experiences. Socol emphasizes the profound impact of virtual worlds on adolescent identity and communication styles, asserting that for young people, digital life can feel more authentic than physical existence. His insights highlight the challenges in intergenerational communication, as the symbolic language of teenagers is often fragmented and emotional, complicating understanding between adults and youth.
