What is the nature of the relationship between these personal characteristics? In particular, it contains results of comparative analysis of data experimental group (men and women, patients with diabetes mellitus type II) and control groups (men and women without a diagnosis "diabetes mellitus") by four parameters: 1) level of socio-psychological adaptation; 2) emotional modality; 3) the level of self-regulation of behavior; 4) peculiarities of self-regulation of behavior in conflict situations; and the results of the comparative analysis on the basis of gender.
