Latent factors of ideas about intragroup interactions in the context of ecopsychological types of agent-environment interactions
Abstract
Context and Relevance. The effectiveness of intragroup interactions that ensure the success of joint actions depends on both external and latent factors. Objective: To empirically identify the latent factors (intentions) underlying concepts of intragroup interactions in relation to types of ecopsychological interactions. Hypothesis: The ecopsychological typology of agent -environment interactions can be used to identify latent factors that determine the success of collaborative work in a group. Methods and Materials. The study was conducted using the semantic differential method. Seven situations of intragroup interactions were selected for its development, corresponding to agent agent-object, agent-isolated, agent-generating, and agent-joint types of ecopsychological interactions. A specially developed set of scales reflected the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. The study involved 177 students from Moscow universities. The average age of the participants was 19.2 (SD=2.81), 43% were men and 57% were women. Factor analysis was used for processing. Results. Factorization of the semantic differential scales made it possible to identify two latent factors that determine perceptions of intragroup interaction situations: "Intention to achieve" and "Orientation to mutual understanding." Both factors showed the highest level in relation to situations corresponding to the agent-generating and agent-joint types of ecopsychological interactions. Conclusions. It is shown that perceptions of intragroup interaction situations corresponding to ecopsychological types of agent-environment interactions are determined by a combination of two factors, one of which represents a focus on achieving the effectiveness of joint activities, and the other - on ensuring the productivity of communicative contacts in the group.
