Gifted Adolescents and Intimacy in Close Same-Sex Friendships.

Mayseless, Ofra

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v22 n2 p135-46 Apr 1993

Fourteen male and 14 female gifted and 14 male and 14 female nongifted adolescents completed questionnaires about intimacy with the closest same-sex friend and attachment style. Results suggest that gifted adolescents may have a stronger instrumental orientation than others, something that does not give them an advantage in friendship in adolescents. (SLD)
