COMMUNICATION AND ANXIETY: PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS
Abstract
The article examines the concepts of communicative competence and anxiety.
Anxiety can be both a normal (physiological) and a pathological reaction of the body to changing environmental conditions. In the first case, anxiety is a temporary and adaptive feeling that ensures the focus of attention on potentially dangerous factors and depends on the duration of the traumatic situation. In this case, the intensity of anxiety correlates with the subjective significance of the event (stimulus). Unlike physiological, pathological anxiety is characterized by groundless anxiety, which can take the form of a feeling of impending danger, internal tension, and anticipation of unforeseen events. In this case, the anxiety reaction is hypertrophied and maladaptive.
Since communicative activity is an important component of human life, it is worth paying more attention to the communicative qualities of people and factors that can create a negative impact on them, such as anxiety states. Therefore, the study of the relationship between anxiety and the communicative qualities of people is relevant and may be useful for finding effective ways to prevent the emergence of both negative communicative traits and the emergence of persistent anxiety states in certain individuals. The purpose of the article: to establish the communicative traits of anxious individuals and the specifics of the relationship between these traits and anxiety.
The results of an empirical study that involved studying anxiety levels, the specifics of interpersonal relationships, and behavioral characteristics in conflict situations are highlighted. It is proven that anxiety is a psychological determinant of personality style characteristics. It is established that communicative competence is one of the key characteristics of a personality, and the presence of anxiety, as a stable personality formation, indicates a violation of personal development, which harms communication and full-fledged activity.
