The Emotional Development of the Highly Able.

Freeman, Joan

European Journal of Psychology of Education, v12 n4 p479-93 Dec 1997

Investigates expectations that highly able children will be as emotionally well balanced as other children but will have special problems arising from others' reactions to their exceptionality and from inappropriate education. Finds that "gifted" children have different emotional profiles than others of the same measured ability not labeled "gifted." (DSK)
