Some developmental peculiarities of the ability for psychological interpretation, on the non-verbal behavior
(RESUME)

Ability for psychological interpretation of the non-verbal behaviour has been considered as a subjective factor which mediates the process of interpersonal behaviour. Its dynamics in ontogenesis is reconstructed against the background of the growth of personality as the subject of active interpersonal communication (particular attention is paid to the stages of adolescence and youth). An analytical structure of the ability is suggested; and individual variants of development of the ability are presented proceeding from changes in the structure as a result of increasing complexity of communication in ontogenesis. Relation between the level of the ability and the place of the individual in a small group is discussed.
