The author of the monograph examines various aspects of ethnic communication, its perceptual, communicative and interactive functions, interpersonal relationships and the regulatory aspect; when considering the communicative function, he analyzes the strategy, tactics and methods of psychological influence (persuasion, suggestion, infection and imitation). Analysis of the regulatory aspect has application not only in theoretical and methodological terms, but also in applied terms, as it allows one to predict the behavior of representatives of an ethnic group.
