Parent and Teacher Views of Gifted Children's Social Abilities.

Galloway, Briar; Porath, Marion

Roeper Review, v20 n2 p118-21 Dec 1997

This study compared parent and teacher perceptions of 23 gifted children's (ages 6-12) social skills and the importance of different social skills. Teacher ratings of cooperation were significantly higher than parent ratings, and teachers valued cooperation highly. Parent ratings of assertion were significantly higher than teacher ratings, and they valued assertion and self-control over cooperation. (Author/CR)
