The article presents the results of an empirical study of attribution of guilt in spheres of interpersonal, intergroup and international interactions and its dependence on a person’s communicative features. 110 students of the Lesya Ukrainka East European National University in Lutsk were interviewed (mean age 18.1; female gender accounted for 89.1 %). For the assessment, students were offered 41 pairs of subjects that interact or interacted with one another and experience or experienced some problems in their relationships. The questionnaire was submitted as a 5-point semantic differential. The respondents were asked to evaluate who in each pair is or was more to blame for the problems that occurred in their relationship. The questionnaire was supplemented with four personality test diagnosing role positions in interpersonal relationship, affiliation motives, perceptual-interactive competence, and manipulative attitudes. A significant influence of a person’s perceptual-interactive features on attribution of guilt in interpersonal, intergroup and international interaction was revealed. The largest negative correlations were recorded between accusations and social activity, and positive correlations were found between accusations and mutual understanding, mutual knowledge, and mutual influence. Social activity directed the subject to him or her self-accusation and accusation of his or her reference groups. Mutual understanding, knowledge and influence reinforced accusations against others people and groups. It was also shown that the parental position derived from child dependence and transformed into accusations against opponents in adulthood. The adult role was more assertive about the accusations. Determinants of a person’s accusatory attitudes were his or her family relationships in childhood and socially relevant contacts of adulthood.
