General, Social, and Academic Self-Concepts of Gifted Adolescents.

Van Boxtel, Herman W.; Monks, Franz J.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v21 n2 p169-86 Apr 1992

Seventy-nine male and 89 female adolescents participated in a study concerning identification and socioemotional situations. Subjects included 22 many-sided gifted achievers, 45 one-sided gifted achievers, 27 gifted underachievers, and 74 controls. Results suggest that the general self-concept of high school students, including the gifted, is correlated with academic self-concept. (SLD)
