Gifted Children's Health Locus of Control: Implications for School Health Curriculum and Instruction.

Parker, J. Terry

Journal of Health Education, v24 n1 p18-21 Jan-Feb 1993

Examines 178 gifted Texas children to determine differences in their health locus of control. Results provide evidence that gifted children, in general, may be less prone to adolescent health-risk behaviors than nongifted children. Findings suggest revision in both school health curricula and instructional practices for gifted children. (GLR)
