CORRELATION OF EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY TO CONTEMPORARIES AND A LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF NONVERBAL TEENAGER'S INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

Emotional sensitivity to contemporaries is a necessary psychological quality for successful interaction of people. In teenager's age there is a transition from sphere of direct dialogue to sphere of sign culture that assumes an individualization of teenager's activity and development of its intelligence. Empirical studies prove that in adolescents emotional sensitivity to age peers negatively correlates with nonverbal intelligence levels: the higher the sensitivity, the lower the non-verbal intelligence development level and vice versa.
