The Role of Acculturation in the Realization of Constructive Conflict

Abstract

The article highlights the criteria of «conflict competence» within the framework of an integrative model that combines dispositional and situational factors of conflicts. The possibilities of studying different types of conflicts in the context of combining the focus on fundamental research of a general psychological nature (to substantiate the term, criteria and role of conflict competence of an individual) and the practical use of knowledge about conflict competence in order to improve interpersonal interaction (including psychological, pedagogical, socio-psychological aspects and their places in the psychology of pedagogical activity) are substantiated. The novelty of the author’s approach lies in the substantiation of the need to develop a model for the formation and development of conflict competence in the process of socialization of emigrant children. The expediency of studying the combination of traditionally identified mechanisms of social perception with the manifestation of the development (actualgenesis) of thinking and personal regulation in the formation and manifestation of conflict competence of a teacher is substantiated.
