Abstract: This study contains the results of a study of six types of interpersonal contradictions and two types of interpersonal conflict in small groups. Two corresponding questionnaires were developed for the study. We questioned 172 employees from 17 groups in different areas of activity. It was found that within a group as a whole all types of interpersonal contradictions and conflicts are manifested stronger, than within informal subgroups. Groups may greatly differ in terms of manifestation of the types of contradictions and conflicts. At the group level, we observed a greater correlation among many types of contradictions, on one hand and types of conflicts, on the other hand, than at the level of informal subgroups.
