Activity Mediation of Interpersonal Relationships: Phenomena and Subject-matter

The article is focused on the subject-matter of activity mediation of interpersonal relationships. In contrast with functional-role and personal-emotional ones it is deter-mined by orientation of people's activity towards “universal “I” and by logic of the “object”. Levels-layers of intragroup relationships determined by the goal of collaborative activity, personal-business relationships, private emotional-personal relation-ships are described. The reasons for qualitative difference between activity-mediated relationships in a collectivity and activity-mediated relationships in a corporation as well as the potential of activity-mediated relationships to “warm up” private emotional relationships in a group are analyzed. Phenomena and peculiarities in life of a group revealed by the author of activity mediation theory are related to categories of transactional analysis and the other systems of counseling psychology. That gives the way to the special — personological — approach to the further research.
