APPROBATION RESULTS OF THE TECHNIQUE “DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF PRONENESS TO CONFLICT”

The article deals with the essence of the concept of “proneness to conflict”, as well as with the structure model of proneness to conflict in terms of the continual and hierarchical personality structure. Proneness to conflict is considered as a personal property, reflecting the frequency of getting into interpersonal conflicts; the level of person’s readiness for the developing and resolving problematic situations of social interaction by means of a conflict; personal quality, determining the outbreak, dynamics and the final result of an interpersonal conflict. The set psycho-diagnostic techniques (“Express-diagnostics of subjective attitude towards conflicts”, “Express-diagnostics of indices of conflicts” and “Differential diagnostics of proneness to conflict”) aimed at studying different conflict characteristics, developed by the authors, is presented. The technique “Differential diagnostics of proneness to conflict” is focused on the diagnostics of the following components: psycho-physiological, emotional, cognitive, conative (behavioural) as well as control and regulative indices of proneness to conflict. The results of the approbation of the above mentioned technique and the factor analysis of indicators have been presented. The given technique has been tested for diagnostic value. Its validity has been proved. Besides, it has been found that the suggested set of methods and techniques can be used not only for scientific, but also practical goals helping to find the personal level of manifestation of proneness to conflict.
