The study of the awareness level of the personality characteristics’ influence on
the effectiveness of communication, as the second indicator of cognitive criterion
showed the expected results. The high level of awareness was demonstrated by 25%
of the respondents. They clearly define the positive and negative effects of specific
personality traits on communication efficiency. With the sufficient level of awareness
were 32.6% of respondents. Determining the dependence of the professional
communication effectiveness on the psychological properties of the communicant,
they noted the positive effect of introversion and rigidity, which does not correspond
to reality. The number of respondents (37.2%) determined the nature of the impact of
only those personality traits, whose semantics of nominations they understand; it was
attributed by us to the medium level of awareness, and only 5.2% showed the low level.
Such indicators testify to a sufficient level of awareness of the higher education
students of the influence nature of the properties and qualities of the individual on the
effectiveness of communication. This can be the basis for meaningful mastering the
theoretical and practical bases of organization and implementation of professional
communication.
According to data from the study of language skills in the professional sector, half
of the respondents (50%) show the medium level. The nature of the norms violation in
most cases is explained by the influence of respondents’ bilingualism. This category
of higher education graduates has difficulty in choosing lexemes for praising the child
for his or her efforts or achievement, using the vocative form of the name, determining
the group of words by meaning (homonyms, paronyms, synonyms, antonyms), permits
a violation of grammatical norms. One third of the respondents (29.8%) have a
sufficient level, and a fifth (20.2%) has a low level of proficiency in the Ukrainian
language.
