Psychological Adjustment in a College-Level Program of Marked Academic Acceleration.

Robinson, Nancy M.; Janos, Paul M.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v15 n1 p51-60 Feb 1986

The questionnaire responses of 24 markedly accelerated young students at the University of Washington were compared with those of 24 regular-aged university students, 23 National Merit Scholors, and 27 students who had qualified for acceleration but instead elected to participate in high school. Accelerants appeared as well adjusted as all comparison groups. (LMO)
