Shmelev I.M. The Potential of Coaching in Fostering Digital Resilience of the Individual under Conditions of Information Overload

Statement of the Problem. In the context of information overload, the development of digital resilience has become critically important. Coaching is considered a practice-oriented approach capable of enhancing cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and value-motivational resources, thereby supporting adaptive and productive functioning in a digital environment. Existing research remains fragmented, highlighting the need for a systemic approach and the development of a comprehensive digital resilience coaching model.

Purpose of the Study. To provide a theoretical and methodological justification of coaching as a practice-oriented technology for developing digital resilience under conditions of information overload, and to design a structured model integrating cognitive, emotional-regulatory, behavioral, and value-motivational components.

Methods. The study employs a meta-review of domestic and international scientific publications (over 234 sources on coaching, digital resilience, and information overload), a comparative-analytical approach, content analysis, and theoretical modeling to develop an integrative framework of digital resilience coaching.

Findings. Based on the analysis of theoretical foundations, a framework model of digital resilience coaching was developed, incorporating cognitive, emotional-regulatory, behavioral, social-communicative, and value-motivational components, each supported by specific coaching tools, techniques, and practices.

Conclusion & Significance. Digital resilience coaching functions not only as a practice-oriented tool for mitigating the negative effects of information overload but also as an innovative, personalized, and strategic approach to fostering adaptive and holistic functioning of the individual. The findings expand the understanding of digital resilience mechanisms, provide a basis for empirical validation of coaching practices, and support the development of individualized programs in a dynamic and information-rich digital environment.
