Petrenko T. Non-verbal communication as an aspect of the implicit diagnostics of the personality characteristics

The object of research is a personality as an ideal construct. The aim is to clarify the mechanism of regular causal interconnection between the integral characteristics of personality's hypercompensatory resources and explicitly expressed in nonverbal communication communicative intention. The methods are: theoretical; empirical (observation, laboratory experiment, interview, psychological testing method, etc); mathematical and statistical (cluster analysis, factor analysis); interpretative (analysis, synthesis, systematization of the obtained data). For the first time the regular interconnection between the holistic aspects of manifestation of person's positive relation to the world, oneself and others, positive thinking, orthogenesis' dynamics and human's symbolic abilities that are manifested in the form of explicit communicative intention is demonstrated, the possible forms of integral signs of personality's hypercompensatory resource is identified, the operationalization of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of nonverbal communication as a form of the symbolic abilities' realization in terms of explicit communicative intention is performed; the further development of the idea of general personality factor as a form of manifestation of evolutionarily expedient personality development is obtained and the relationship between the level of formation of the general personality factor with the characteristics of the "explicit communicative intention" is empirically confirmed.
