Kulagina, N. V. Gender conflict as a factor of personal and professional disadaptation

Abstract: the article is devoted to a rather new phenomenon in the modern psychology, so called “intrapersonal gender conflict”, and its causes. The author used a number of researches as examples illustrating destructive influence of the intra—personal gender conflict on mental and physical health. The author showed the negative impact of the conflict on the processes of personal and professional self-realization and on the sphere of interpersonal relationships. The article aims at underling the intrapersonal gender conflict as a very important issue as well as at encouraging specialists to take more active steps towards developing methods and techniques for prevention and correction of such a personal conflict.
