MANIPULATIVE INFLUENCE APPLICATION IN WORK BY RESEARCH-PEDAGOGICAL STAFF

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to analyze the results of the study of manipulative techniques application by school teachers, principals and university teachers in their work; searching for correlations between psychodynamic manifestations of the temperament of teachers and peculiarities of manipulations use. The following research methods were used in the study: Bant’s Scale of Manipulation Approach techniques, S. Bartchenko’s “Personality Orientation in Communication” Scale and V. Rusalova’s “Questionnaire of the Structure of Temperament”. On the basis of the results obtained, it has been determined that all the respondents use manipulating strategies in their work. The indicators vary from the average level to high. It has been found that school principals are characterized by the high level of manipulations application as distinct from university teachers. In the process of pedagogical interaction, university teachers are oriented mainly to equal communication, mutual understanding and communicative cooperation. There is a relationship between communicative authoritarianism and the manipulative influences of educators. Also, there are statistically significant relationships between social flexibility and the use of manipulative actions. Taking this into account, four types of pedagogical workers have been distinguished (“Indifferent”, “Conformal”, “Dialogical” and “Authoritarian”). One of the main tasks of training future educators is the formation of their skills according to the “Dialogical” type. The realization of this task is considered by means of the introduction of the principles of humanization and fundamentalization into the educational space of a higher educational establishment.
