Youth is in the final stages of transition to adulthood and encounters a significant number of new situations, people, conventions, standards, and rules that require them to activate adaptive and communicative processes. The formation of the communicative component of gender tolerance contributes to: the development of personal self-control; ability to act together with different people; creating psychologically comfortable conditions for joint activities; achievement of interpersonal and intergroup mutual understanding in collective and provides creation of psychological and pedagogical conditions of successful formation of tolerant relations at communicative interaction in a society and decrease in level of conflict in general. The target of the study was to determine the psychological characteristics of the communicative component of gender tolerance in adolescence. The tasks of the study were to select and conduct methods to determine the level of formation of the communicative component of gender tolerance of youth; identification of areas of predominant manifestation of communicative tolerance in accordance with the gender s (and / or gender); study of the influence of gender personality traits on the level of formation of the communicative component in youthful age. In the process of empirical research were used: the method of "Diagnosis of general communicative tolerance" (author V.V. Boyko); method "Psychological sex" (author S. Bem). The correlation analysis method was used to establish the relationship between the indicators of the communicative component of gender tolerance and the level of gender identity in youthful age. The correlation analysis of the influence of gender identity on the formation of the communicative component showed that both young girls and boys with androgynous qualities are more prone to tolerant attitudes in the process of interpersonal communication. Whereas subjects with pronounced masculine qualities have significant difficulties in establishing communicative contact. Accordingly, in subjects with a low level of formation of the communicative component, low rates of gender tolerance are found.
