THE INFLUENCE OF EMOTIONALLY-ORIENTED COMPETENCIES OF MINORS ON PREVENTION OF BULLYING AND CYBERBULLYING IN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article presents grounds for the importance and necessity of formation of socio-emotional competencies that are important for social functioning and relations of minors with peers. An analysis of the negative consequences of victimization by bullying and cyberbullying in the educational environment allows to conclude the importance of social skills and emotional competencies that provide protection, a sense of satisfaction with one’s life and mitigation of the mental health problems of minors. On the example of programs of socio-emotional development during the minor period, their positive influence on the creation of a favorable climate in the school environment is shown, which helps to reduce the likelihood of cyberbullying. Promising areas of research in this area are identified.
