The article reproduces the results of theoretical analysis of scientific studies which have been conducted to improve various aspects of vocational training of future junior specialists in nursing. The expediency of conducting a scientific and research work in the process of students’ study in medical colleges. It has been generalized that scholars studied problems of formation of professional competence, identity, readiness to different types of activities (research, project, promotion and implementation of healthy lifestyle ideas) in students of medical colleges. It has been argued that in order to prove the effectiveness of the author’s methodic of vocational training of future junior specialists in nursing in medical colleges is necessary to organize experimental research and make analysis of its results. Comparative analysis of results at different stages of the scientific and research work contributed to establishing the effectiveness of the author’s methodic for organizing educational process. The methods of questionnaire, testing, interviewing, observation, evaluation of students’ participation in solving professional-situational and simulation problems, etc. have been used to examine readiness of medical colleges students to professional work. In order to determine the formation of students’ motives and valuable orientations, to establish the level of knowledge, practical abilities, skills, readiness to professional development at all stages of research students from seven medical colleges have been involved. The structure of readiness to professional activity of future junior specialists in nursing is presented. The results of the incoming and final controls to determine the levels of formation of all four components and readiness to professional work of students from control and experimental groups in general have been compared. The results of comparative analysis have stated that organization of training of students from experimental groups led to better results in vocational training of future junior specialists in nursing than in the case of traditional training in control groups.

This paper reviews the evidence for a secondary transfer effect of intergroup contact. Following a contact’s typical primary reduction in prejudice toward the outgroup involved in the contact, this effect involves a further, secondary reduction in prejudice toward noninvolved outgroups. Employing longitudinal German probability samples, we found that significant secondary transfer effects of intergroup contact exist, but they were limited to specific outgroups that are similar to the contacted outgroup in perceived stereotypes, status or stigma. Since the contact-prejudice link is bidirectional, the effect is inflated when prior prejudice reducing contact is not controlled. The strongest evidence derives from experimental research. Both cognitive (dissonance) and affective (evaluative conditioning) explanations for the effect are offered.
