Interpersonal interactions of people in society not only regulate the processes of communication, but also have a significant impact on the formation of their personality traits. It is for this reason that the problems associated with interpersonal interaction do not lose their relevance, and the process of forming their skills in various aspects is studied by scientists and practitioners in the field of psychology and pedagogy.
