Introduction. The relevance of the problem is caused by the importance of identification of psychological mechanisms and regularities of irritability as a factor interfering with development of ability to accept other person, creation of relations with people on a nonviolent basis. Purpose: identification of psychological mechanisms of emergence of irritability and types of the people causing irritation among students – future experts in psychology and pedagogical maintenance. Materials and Methods. In the course of research the following methods were applied: theoretical ones – analysis, specification, generalisation, typologisation; empiri cal – the author ’s questionnaire of identification of irritability level of people; methods of mathematical statistics – correlation analysis with the use of dichotomizing coefficient of Pearson correlation. 112 students of Moscow Humanitarian University and Cherepovets State University, average age – 20 years old, have participated in a research. Results. The key factors essential for creation of people’s typology causing irritation are revealed. It is found that irritability results from interaction of two groups of factors: evaluating-neutral, characterising extreme forms of manifestation of activity of the individual, and evaluating-emotional, characterising a deviation from the social norms accepted by personality. Integration of these factors is carried out by confronting appearance, traits of character, manner of behavior of this or that person with expectations of an individual that finally leads to emergence of irritability or its absence. Discussion and Conclusions. The received results can be used in the course of formation of students’ professional competences fostering their ability to overcome their own irritability, to accept other people, to interact with them on a nonviolent basis. The further prospect of a research consists in studying of influence of irritability on the nature of interaction with people, acceptances of a certain position, in development of psychology and pedagogical technologies of overcoming irritability that is a condition of formation of a position of a non-violence at future experts of the sphere of psychology and pedagogical maintenance.
