Abstract

The report aims to answer a question how we can reduce a threat of isolation created by using a computer in free time. In the first part of the report the reasons of creating a state of isolation during work with a computer in free time were presented. Then potential results of this threat in the area of optimalisation of decisions made by participants were discussed. In the application part of the report results of research concerning a state of awareness of isolation as a threat were presented. The research was carried out on a group of students, chosen at random. A sociometric tool in a form of a questionnaire was applied in the research. The construction of the questionnaire was based on weights of attribution of emotional state, which isolation is. In the summary the authors presented the ways and methods of reducing results of the threat, which is isolation in the process of working with a computer.
