GENDER DIFFERENCES OF THE 3RD YEAR STUDENT’S PERSONAL ADAPTATION TO STUDYING

The key problem of the article is the results of a research about gender-sensitive adaptation of the 3rd year students of medical faculties to studying. Most of the 3rd year students regardless of gender have a lower level of social and psychological adaptation. There is a higher level of neuro-psychological stability of female students than male ones. Every third male student and fifth female student are able to adapt relatively quickly to the learning environment of higher medical schools, they are sociable and non-conflict. Almost half of the girls follow accepted norms and rules while only one in five surveyed boys did the same. Most students, regardless of the gender, are not predisposed to inadequate behavior or transgressions of the law.
