Abstract
Aim – to clarify some characteristics of the communicative sphere of generation Z representatives (centenials) against the background of inconsistency and lack of scientific knowledge on the problem.
Methodology. The analysis of scientific sources was carried out, which made it possible to detect radically different information about the socio-psychological characteristics of centennials, a local diagnostic study was undertaken using the “Test of Affiliation Motives” by A. Mehrabian and the “Relationship Profile Test” by R. Bornstein.
Results. Data on the average level of expression of affiliation motivation among centennial students were obtained; high indicators of both normative and excessive interpersonal dependence were found, some tendency to manifestations of dysfunctional separation in interpersonal contacts were also stated.
Research implications. The results of the study do not allow us to conclude that there is a low tendency to affiliation, a tendency to introversion and escapism among Z-generation students.
