There is given an example of socio-psychological investigation of the students and pupils from Yakutia (RGNF grant No 12-03-00546a) in which we analyze their attitude to major information sources: broadcast media, print media and Internet media and their impact on the process of the socio-cultural adaptation of the youth. In effect the author comes to the conclusion that at present media does not provide for opportunities of the individual’s positive socio-cultural adaptation. It is sets for prior perception of simple semantic textures that are being formed but they do not form the individual’s reflexive thinking.
