DIFFERENCES IN PERSONAL ADAPTATION TO LEARNING INDICATORS DEPENDING ON THE GENDER OF RESPONDENTS

Abstract

The article highlights the results of a study of gender differences in the adaptation of students of various specialties of medical faculties studying in the 2nd year. They has shown a sufficient level of neuro-mental stability is inherent in every second female student and 90% of male students surveyed by us under difficult learning conditions. At the same time, every third female student may have difficulties adapting to the conditions of a new team, establishing contacts with others, although she is non-conflict. The majority of second-year students of both sexes are fully socialized and do not have a tendency to behavioral deviations, offenses and signs of aggression. The vast majority of second-year students during their studies at a medical institution of higher education have a well-pronounced ability to maintain resistance to stress and effectively study in new difficult conditions.
