The article explores the specifics of human interaction with the information environment. A new theoretical model of personal resources has been proposed and tested, aimed at enabling creative engagement with symbolic reality and behavioral self-determination under conditions of informational overload. Theoretical and methodological foundations are presented for identifying perceivable archetypes of interaction with the information environment. Based on empirical research, 12 archetypes are distinguished: “recipient,” “observer,” “activist,” “analyst,” “manipulator,” “theorist,” “expert,” “confident user,” “organizer,” “planner,” “author,” and “innovator.” It is shown that these archetypes differ in terms of personal involvement, stability, and awareness. Psychological indicators of personality resilience and readiness to assimilate and transform incoming information are identified. Recommendations are formulated for applying the research results to develop tools for assessing personal growth potential under informational pressure, as well as programs for psychological support in the process of informational and digital socialization and the development of the ability to build “dialogue with the information environment” (informational and psychological competence), including situations of counteracting destructive information flows.
