102 schoolchildren of the 9-11 th classes of secondary school No. 2 of Stavropol, without genetic pathology, were examined. The functional state of the central nervous system was determined by the method of computer chronoreflexometry; using psychological tests, we determined the level of personality (PA) and situational (SA) anxiety, as well as (and) the level of aggressiveness. It was established that in the 9-11th classes, girls and young women have a higher level of PA and SA than boys and young men (p <0.05-0.01). During the training the girls' and boys' the level of PA remains relatively constant, however, the variability of PA of 17 years-old young women is higher than of the young men. The level of SA of the girls tends to increase throughout the entire period of study in high school, while for boys it rises only the 10 th class, and decreases by the beginning of the 11 th class. For the indicators of aggression, gender differences begin to appear in the 10 th class: aggressiveness index and indirect aggression in the boys' significantly higher than the girls' are. In the 11 th class, young men significantly increase in comparison with girls an indicator of hostility, verbal aggression and offence (p <0.05).
The purpose of the study was to research the change in the psychical status and functional state of the central nervous system of high school leavers taking the Unified State Exam (USE) in the dynamics of the academic year. 85 high school leavers of the 11th form were put under study. The functional state of the CNS was determined by the method of computer chronoreflexometry, psychical status – with the help of “the Methodology for Diagnosing Learning Motivation and Emotional Attitude to Learning in Middle and High School”, “Spielberger's Methodology for Identifying Personal and Situational Anxiety”, and “Determination of susceptibility to stress”. It was found that the boys and girls of the 11th form had the maximum level of motivation for learning at the beginning of the school year. By the end of the school year, the girls' level of motivation for learning decreases while the achievement motivation and anxiety level increase significantly. The level of personal anxiety among girls is also considerably higher than among boys. At the beginning of the school year stress resistance among boys is higher than among girls. Рreparation for the USE during the academic year cause significant changes in the functional state of the CNS, which are more pronounced in schoolgirls. The results of the study can be put into the basis for monitoring the state of psychosomatic health of high school leavers as well as be used as markers when performing psychocorrectional activities to restore an optimum functional CNS state and a psychoemotional status.
