THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL INTERACTION FACILITATION: EFFECT, MECHANISMS, REGULARITIES

Abstract

In the epoch of exponential development of civilization, social interaction becomes more and more dense and the range of representations and regulations of life is expending, and, accordingly, the probability of conflict in society increases. The research of a problem of social interaction is insufficiently provided and remains urgent in the scientific world. The author (together with R.G. Khalitov and I.M. Yusupov) developed the concept of psychosocial dissonance (notion and model) which was the base for a research of social interaction, and the probabilistic model of psychosocial dissonance became a basis for mathematical (formulas and numbers) determination and modeling of social interaction. Post-nonclassical science, within which the author conducts the researches, studies complex self-developing systems, natural complexes that include the human being, with the expansion of the scope of concepts of scientific methodology and scientific approach to the human being. To understand the facilitation of social interaction in the presence of an observer, the "anthropological principle" is used, which establishes a link between the existence of a person (as an observer) and the physical parameters of the world. On the basis of theoretical researches the concept is introduced and the effect of facilitation of social interaction is shown. The description of the mechanism of facilitation of social interaction on the basis of the model of psychosocial dissonance and level model of psychosocial phenomena is offered. Empirical researches are carried out and regularities of social interaction facilitation are shown and the method of definition of (numerical) influence of the facilitator on social interaction is offered. The model of social interaction facilitation can become the basis for further psychological research and provides an opportunity to apply the results for use in psychological practices, as well as in the training of competent professional facilitators.
