The article considers constructive psychological interaction as a process of interaction between people based on positive psychological aspects, such as emotional intelligence, effective communication, openness to new things, as well as the ability to resolve conflicts and make joint decisions. The psychological aspect of constructive social interaction is deeply intertwined with emotional intelligence. This is reflected in the ability to understand, feel and effectively manage one’s own emotions, as well as the ability to perceive and consider the emotions of other people. Regulation of emotions is another important aspect of emotional intelligence, which is of great importance for constructive psychological interaction. The ability to control your emotions helps you avoid spontaneous reactions and conflicts, and instead focus on building positive and productive relationships with others. The ability to cooperate is also a key element of constructive communication. It involves the willingness to work together with other people to achieve common goals, as well as the ability to resolve conflicts and solve problems through joint efforts. Positive self-esteem plays a significant role in the psychological aspect of constructive psychological interaction. It involves faith in one’s own abilities and openness to new things, which helps to build healthy and mutually supportive relationships with other people. Resolving conflicts through compromise, finding common solutions, and resolving conflicts without aggression are important elements of the psychological aspect of constructive psychological interaction. They contribute to the preservation and maintenance of positive relations with other people, as well as to the construction of a favorable environment for communication and cooperation. The ability to interact with people in the digital space and effectively manage online relationships is becoming an increasingly important aspect of being an individual.
