The greater part of mankind daily enters into communicative contacts with other people. The need for communication arises in everyone, someone can spend hours chatting around, and someone just a couple of times a day. People always want to communicate.
Let us consider how such a human need is formed and what its classification is.
The human need for communication is one of the main sociogenic needs. It arises when experience accumulates in interaction with other personalities. Its basis is the need for emotional contacts, their search and a certain technique for satisfying this need. It manifests itself in the desire of an individual to belong to a group, to become a member of it, to interact with it, to help one's help and to accept from it, if necessary. Formation of the need for communication occurs in the desire to participate with other people in any joint action. It motivates, helps to support and directs every activity of each person in the direction of communication with other people.
In children, communication as a social need is not an inborn quality, but is formed against the background of the active activity of adults and, often, manifests itself to 2 months. Adolescents believe that they not only have such a need, but in this regard, they can communicate as much as they want. There are times when they show signs of protest to adults, when the latter tend to somehow limit their need for communication.
If we talk about the needs of adults for communication, they communicate much less than they want, often plunging into the negative. To understand the origins of the formation of communication needs, we will consider the types of communication needs.
