The modern educational process in a higher educational institution should have a personal and professional orientation. The development of personal and professional competencies necessary for future teachers and psychologists is the most important task of training specialists in this area. Sensitivity to another person is one of these competencies. The theoretical part of the article analyzes the concept of “sensitivity to a person,” reveals the structure of this concept and describes the components of sensitivity to another, such as interest in a person, empathy, understanding and help. The purpose of empirical research is to identify the dynamics of sensitivity to humans in students of psychological and pedagogical areas of training. In total, 163 students of psychological and pedagogical areas of training at Cherepovets State University (from 1 to 5 years) took part in the study. As a result, it was found that the level of sensitivity to humans among students of psychological and pedagogical areas of training is quite high, some of its decline occurs only in the second or third year. The most pronounced sensitivity parameters in students of all courses are empathy and help. To a lesser extent, students have an interest in the individual and an understanding of the individual. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that an analysis of the dynamics of sensitivity in students of psychological and pedagogical areas of training is presented, “problem” zones have been identified when it is formed at different stages of study at the university. The data obtained show the importance of purposeful formation of sensitivity to humans among students of psychological and pedagogical areas of training both in the framework of educational activities and in extracurricular activities.
