Socio-cultural reproduction of communicative competencies in young people
The relevance of the topic of socio-cultural reproduction of communicative competencies among youth is high due to both the dynamic changes in this sphere and the total involvement of young people in communication processes. The article discusses the data of empirical study collected in the period of October 2021 – March 2022. An online survey method (Google Forms) was used. Sample type – quota, representation is provided by gender, age and type of the settlement. The sample size is 2492 respondents. The age of the respondents is from 15 to 29 years old. The concept of self-regulation of youth life activity by V. I. Chuprov and Yu. A. Zubok is implemented as methodological basis. An analysis of the conjugations of gender and habitual attitudes (to collectivism and individualism; disinterestedness and prudence), and the meanings of communication (terminal – joy, happiness; pleasure; internal need; and instrumental – duty of politeness; forced necessity; useful connections) in the socio-cultural reproduction of communicative competencies by young people is presented. Based on a multivariate analysis of these indicators, the authors draw the following conclusions. Young people fully realize the reproductive function in communicative skills. Gender, as a rule, manifests itself in the reproduction of predominantly “male” (“to insist on one’s own) and traditionally “female” skills “to sympathize, emotionally empathize with others”, gender solidarity – in the reproduction of “universal” competencies such as “listen and try to understand others”. The differentiation of young people within gender groups in connection with the habits and meanings of communication empirically confirms that the reproduction of communicative competencies is regulated by unconscious and conscious elements of the socio-cultural mechanism of self-regulation. The habitual attitudes that go back to traditional culture have a greater differentiating effect, on reproduction of communicative competence of youth. Among all of the meanings of communication that young people create – instrumental meanings correlated with modern culture are stronger. Sociocultural reproduction through the meanings of communication reveals a paradox that is not characteristic of other spheres of youth life: in the communicative space, the carriers of instrumental meanings are less equipped with communicative skills than the carriers of terminal ones.
