Tkhorzhevskaya L.V., Boldyreva T.A., Fedorova M.N. COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF OLDER PEOPLEAccording to Rosstat, people of older and retirement age make up more than 25 % of the modern population of Russia. In this regard, the problem of subjective well-being of this category of the population seems to be urgent. In addition to the economic and social context, issues, related to the psychological aspects of improving the quality of life of people who continue to work and complete it when they reach retirement age are increasingly being raised. The multidimensional nature of the problem of the quality of life in general and its psychological component: the subjective assessment of well-being forces us to pay attention to the factors that have changed mostly in the life situation of older people who have ceased their work activity: changes in the sphere of communication, interaction, communication. In this regard, the influence of communicative competence on the subjective assessment of well-being of older people who continue and complete their work activities was investigated. A study was conducted with two groups of elderly people in the amount of 60, including women and men aged 55–65, divided by the criterion of continuation / completion of labor activity living in St. Petersburg. A comparative study was carried out by means of private psychodiagnostic methods: “The scale of subjective well-being” (adaptation of M.V. Sokolova), “Test of life-meaning orientations” (D.A. Leontiev). In addition, the following methods were used: the informal conversation method, the author’s questionnaire “Subjective well-being” and the author’s formalized observation “Formation of communicative competence”. It was found that subjective well-being is higher among older workers. The use of correlation analysis revealed that retirement with the simultaneous termination of work leads to a decrease in the subjective assessment of well-being, as it entails changes in social status and a person’s usual lifestyle. Maintaining and improving the subjective well-being of non-working older people requires the development of communicative competence.Key words: older person, retirement age, life meaningful orientations, quality of life, subjective well-being, communicative competence.
