Reflective Aspect of Perception and Self-Perception of Subjects in Conflict Interaction

Abstract

As part of the experimental study, the change in the images of subjects (the image of oneself and the image of another) included in the conflict interaction was assessed; the relationship between the images of communicants and the level of their reflexivity was revealed. A wide range of methods were used in the work: “Diagnosis of the level of development of reflexivity (A.V. Karpov); scaling Petrovsky - Uvarina, "Who am I?" (M. Kuhn, T. McPartland (modified by T.V. Rumyantseva)). The study was conducted on the “Experiment for studying negotiations” setup (idea by V.A. Lefevre, modification by B.I. Khasan). After the experimental interaction, the participants of the study had significant changes in the assessment of personality traits in terms of "Communicative Self" (T= 2.246 at p≤0.025) were revealed. In subjects with a "low" level of reflexivity, a significant correlation was found between self-identification by a set of characteristics related to the "Active Self" and the perception of characteristics the other (opponent) (r = 0.523 at p≤0.05) In subjects with a "high" level of reflexivity, a significant inverse correlation was determined between the self-identification of the subjects according to the characteristics included in the indicator-component "Communicative Self" (r = - 0.668 at p ≤0.05). The data obtained indicate the existence of a connection between the level of formation of reflexivity, the construction of the image of oneself and the opponent in conflict interaction.
