The article analyses the approach to understanding of an activity of a person that exists in Perm psychological school and complies with the theory of V. S. Merlin’s integrated identity. Integrated identity is considered as a special form of life of a certain person in the society where he lives and works as an independent, and unique system that keeps the integrity and identity in the conditions of internal and external changes.

The author presents her frameworks of categories and concepts of communicative activity of a person: communicative activity, leading activity, controllable development of communicative activity, style of communicative activity, etc. The focal point of the article is the structure and functions of communicative activity of a person – that is system-forming, adaptive, harmonizing, meta-individual. Obviously, communicative activity represents complex psychological system which is realized through interrelations of properties at different hierarchical levels of person’s identity – neuro-dynamic, psychodynamic, personal, social and psychological levels. The author shows a good potential of controllable development of students’ communicative activity, who will be, in the future, engaged in the socio-nomics professions in higher education institutions.
