RESULTS OF CORRECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN ADOLESCENTS WITH INTERNET-DEPENDENT BEHAVIOR

The article presents the results of the three-stage (ascertaining, forming, control) empirical study - diagnosis, correction and development of communicative competence in adolescents with Internet-dependent behavior. With the help of a series of diagnostic techniques, certain features of the communicative sphere were revealed indicating a general decrease in the development of non-verbal communicative competence, socio-perceptive abilities, and expressive behavior in this category of adolescents. At the forming stage of the empirical study, a program of corrective-developing measures (communicative training) aimed at increasing the level of social and perceptual competence and developing the skills of non-verbal expressive behavior, as well as reducing the negative potential of Internet-dependent behavior, was tested. The results of an estimation of efficiency of the remedial-developing program (communicative training) testify to its quite high efficiency. The data obtained in the study demonstrate the possibility of an adequate formation of communicative competence, non-verbal expressive behavior in adolescents with Internet-dependent behavior, as well as ways of psychological support in working with this category of adolescents.
