Abstract

Article is devoted to a problem of experiencing social-psychological satiety among residents with different territorial identity (city dwellers and suburbanites in Moscow). We suggested that in group of city dwellers (Muscovites) satiety is expressed in unemotional perception of city environment and strategies of avoiding imposed communication, in group of suburbanites (living in satellite cities) – in ambivalent experiences, strategies of avoiding imposed informatization. These differences are due to city identity and territorial affiliation (place of living). The author's methods were used in the work, aimed at identifying the affective, cognitive and behavioral components of social-psychological satiety, questioning method and city identity questionnaire (M. Lalli). The obtained results allowed us to confirm the put forward hypothesis. City dwellers are Muscovites suppress emotional experiences, change and limit social contacts when they realize the unfavorable living conditions in the city. Suburbanites seek to protect themselves by «psychologically encapsulating» when confronted with information and communication sources of satiety imposed on the urban environment
