Gender Differences In Attitude Towards Health In Younger Schoolchildren

The present article discusses the study results of gender differ¬ences of primary school-aged children in their attitude to health. The need to study gender differences in attitudes toward health in younger schoolchildren is determined by the lack of development of the problem as a whole, on the one hand, and its high practical importance, on the other. Junior school age is favorable for the awareness and formation of an emotional-evaluative attitude towards one's health. The knowledge of the peculiarities of attitude to health in boys and girls will enable us to work out a differentiated approach to its practical formation. The author investigates the cognitive and ac¬tivity components concerning attitude to health in girls and boys at primary school age. The research deter¬mines that the activity component of attitude to health is formed better amongst girls, whereas there are no gender differences in the cognitive component. It has been established that the activity component of attitudes towards health is formed better in girls than in boys, which manifests in the best quality of rest, interaction with peers and demonstration of socially desired behavior. The components of relationship to health in both boys and girls are interrelated. The obtained results can be used in practical activities aimed at forming an adequate attitude to their health in boys and girls at primary school age.
