DEVELOPMENT OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE "QUALITY OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT"
Abstract
One of the most important tasks of psychological support of the child in the educational space is to create the most comfortable conditions for effective education and development. Particularly relevant is the problem of creating a favorable, psychologically safe environment. All researchers of the phenomenon of safety emphasize the significance of the characteristics of the communication process as a condition that may contain threats to a safe environment. Also, the quality of interpersonal relations impacts the productive development of individuals and groups. The purpose of this work was to develop a questionnaire for the express diagnostics of interpersonal relations of students or teachers in an educational institution. We have compiled a questionnaire that was based on the modification of the questions from the already known methods (Rosenberg's Trust Scale, Agreeableness Scale, Big Five, Acceptance of Others Scale (Fey) and Questionnaire of Communicative Tolerance (Boyko); Cook – Medley Hostility Scale, Thomas – Killman Conflict Mode Instrument). The questionnaire "Quality of interpersonal relations in educational environment" includes eight scales (these are four positive and four negative types of relations; a total of 48 questions). As the fundamental positive types of relations, we have identified four of them: trust, agreeableness, acceptance, tolerance. As typical for the educational environment of negative relations, we considered: aggressiveness, conflict, hostility, manipulation. The results showed the prevalence of evaluation of positive relations over negative ones in an investigating school. Students and educators had more significant differences between the assessments of specific negative interpersonal relationships.
