Abstract

The article deals with the results of a theoretical study of the communication problem in the context of psychologists vocational training and an empirical revealing  of the presence and pattern of the socio-psychological characteristics of communication among future psychologists - extroverts and introverts. Communication is regarded as a form of human activity, the result of which is interaction with another person or people; as a multidimensional process of establishing and developing contacts between people, generated by the need for joint activities. Communication is a significant component and a necessary condition for effective professional work of a psychologist. The educational process of training a specialist in the field of psychology should be based on scientific knowledge about the features of communication and their determination in future psychologists. It is empirically proven that extraversion and introversion, as properties of human temperament, determine the emergence of certain socio-psychological characteristics of communication. New data on the characteristics of communication-a communicative attitude, a psychological defense strategy and the ability to self-regulation of future psychologists -have been obtained depending on their belonging to a group of extroverts or introverts. In particular, it was revealed that the communication of future extroverted psychologists has such socio-psychological characteristics: a more expressive (than introvert) negative communicative attitude with the dominance of the attitude toward veiled cruelty and muttering towards partners; the use of peacefulness in communication as a strategy of psychological defense of subjective reality; low level of self-control. The communication of future introvert psychologists is characterized by: less expressive (than in extroverts) negative communicative attitude with the domination of the attitude toward negative experience of communication; the use of avoidance in communication as a strategy of psychological defense of subjective reality; an average level of self-control. Accordingly, substantial lines of psychological and pedagogical work with extrovert  and introvert students  have been established with the aim of increasing the effectiveness of their professional training.
