The process of aging and adaptation to old age is a grand problem for a number of people in modern society. The influence of education on increasing on reflexion in interpersonal communication was the subject of scientific research. Many people when retired find themselves excluded from social and political activity and experience uselessness. Social interaction with environment enables better social adaptation and opens up possibilities for pensioners. The level of reflexion in the group of seniors before beginning their educational program was rather low and heterogenous. Two groups of respondents was traced - with low level of reflexion (the majority of the group) and with middle level of reflexion (the minority of the group). After a semester of education according to special professional program the distribution of indices became homogeneous and the level of reflexion increased.
