Abstract
In the article considers one of the key paradoxes of human interaction with the virtual environment: while the virtual environment is a continuous flow of artificially created information, the person perceives it as a psychological vital space. The goal of the research is to assess the degree of representativeness and validity of the topographic approach to the psychological analysis of the virtual vital space of modern person. Meta-analysis of publications in the field of psychological science related to the problems of virtual environment and indicators of the vital space of the person is conducted. Sources are science-metric databases (Russian Science Citation Index, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar). Keywords for meta-analysis of publication are: “virtual environment” and “virtual space”. Additionally, the criterion for the selection of publications is set: dependent variables of research should be quantitative or qualitative indicators of the components of the life space (needs, motives, purpose, abilities, emotions, behavior, etc.). 4390 articles published between 1995 and 2021 were controlled in terms of their conformity to the objectives of the research.
