SOCIAL RESEARCH ON MANIPULATIVE MANIFESTATIONS IN INTER-SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SCHOOLCHILDREN

Abstract

The author devotes attention to the problem of communicative manipulation in the educational process and tries to investigate the attitude to the problem of manipulation of information of schoolchildren. In addition, the author analyzes the feasibility of using manipulation in the educational sphere, examines different scientific points of view, and considers the attitude of school students to the implementation of manipulative influence. The aim of the research was to find out the social and psychological reasons for education teachers' attitude to manipulation; to analyze the mechanisms of protection against manipulation; to systematize the methods of prevention and prevention of manipulation in education. The growing interest to the problem of manipulative influence in social activity is due to the desire of scientists to analyze the issues related to the admissibility of manipulative influence on participants in the educational process, as well as to find ways to prevent and protect against manipulation. School practice shows that older pupils often use manipulative strategies in interpersonal communication. Destructive ways of manipulation are aimed at exerting external influence, rigidly structuring pupils' behaviors and disrupting the inner freedom of the pre-adolescent child.
 From a socio-pedagogical point of view, the consolidation of manipulation as the main communicative influence as a way to build inter-relationships among children of adolescence is not a favorable option for the development of inter-relationships. In the first case, children may develop a lack of trust and confidence, a lack of social mobility, and a lack of adequate self-presentation in the educational environment. In the other case, rationalism, cynicism, covetousness, non-naturalness in relations may be initiated. In the author's opinion, under conditions of dynamical changes in today's educational environment negatively spun manifestations of manipulative communication are inadequate and maladaptive in the students' team. The students' understanding of the essence of the strategy of manipulation and the formation of a protective mechanism against such a way of interaction is an urgent problem of the holistic social and pedagogical process of the secondary (vocational) school.
