Perception of age-peers and of adults by adolescents and senior school-children
(RESUME)

Relation between individual-typical peculiarities and general-chronological regularities in the sphere of interpersonal perception in adolescence and early youth has been studied. "Cognitive complexity - cognitive simplicity" as a structural characteristic of personality has been used as a background against which the individual-typical is revealed. The study shows that the age dynamics of interpersonal perception is subject both to generalchronological and individual-typical peculiarities of schoolchildren; these peculiarities overlap in a certain succession at different points of development with age. An important characteristic of the process consists in the presence of periods of increased sensitivity to those aspects of experience which are connected with appearance of new formations in the period of adolescence and early youth.
