The influence of individual personality characteristics of subjects of the educational process on conflict interaction in the teacher-student dyad

The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that conflicts, as a social phenomenon, are quite common in educational institutions. The school acts as a leading social institution in the process of training and educating the younger generation. In this regard, the student, even without being a direct participant in the conflict, can feel its negative consequences and thereby internalize negative behavioral stereotypes. The team of teachers faces a particularly acute problem of finding constructive ways to resolve conflicts, which in turn can negatively affect not only the personality of the students themselves, but also the educational process as a whole.
