This book was released on 2001 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among self-concept, gender-related personality attributes, and social comparison orientation in a sample of gifted adolescent females. How bright girls compared to normative samples on self-concept, self-descriptions of gender roles, and to what extent they relied on social comparison information from their average-ability peers was investigated. In addition, this study sought to determine if social comparison orientation was associated with gifted girls' domain-specific self-concepts and their personal attributes. Finally, this research attempted to determine if low or high dependence on social comparison information moderated the relationship between global self-concept and the personal attributes of masculinity, femininity, and androgyny. The sample consisted of 50 gifted and talented girls from central Missouri who were attending grades 10 through 12 at the time of the study. The participants had been identified in elementary school as gifted by exceptional scores on group measures of cognitive ability. Each participant completed four brief instruments designed to gather information about their demographic characteristics, self-concept, personal attributes, and social comparison orientation. Data were collected in small groups at the girls' high schools. The gifted and talented girls who participated in the study reported average levels of self-concept in the areas of global, competence, affect, family, and physical self-concept. The participants endorsed higher than average academic and social self-concepts. Within group, domain-specific comparisons revealed that these bright females reported relatively lower physical self-concept scores when compared to most other domains. They also endorsed relatively higher levels of academic self-concept when compared to their affective reactions and family situations. In addition, the participants reported average levels of femininity, but significantly higher levels of masculinity and androgyny when compared to a normative sample. Furthermore, they reported similar social comparison orientations when compared to teenagers in a normative sample. Examinations of the interactions among the variables revealed that no significant association was found between gifted girls' domain-specific self-concept scores and their need for social comparison information. On the other hand, those who reported a low level of dependence on social comparison information from their average-ability peers endorsed higher levels of masculinity and androgyny. Unexpectedly, the relationship between global self-concept and personal attributes was not moderated by social comparison orientation.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Gifted Education written by Carolyn M. Callahan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of gifted education is characterized by a confusing array of perspectives concerning such fundamental issues as definition, philosophy, curriculum, social and emotional development, and underserved populations. The mission of this book is to provide a coherent framework that instructors and service providers can use in planning effective programs, providing appropriate counseling services, and evaluating programs for the gifted. Most sections are organized around fundamental issues confronting the field and follow a common structure: an introductory chapter that provides historical and theoretical background and organizing questions followed by several point-of-view chapters written by experts that provide varied perspectives on the topic at hand. Distinguishing Features Comprehensive Coverage – The book’s forty-five manageable-length chapters cover the full range of topics that must be considered in planning programs and services for gifted students both within and outside of school. Coherent Structure – Section introductions provide background information and organizing questions to guide chapter authors who provide varying views of the issue at hand. The emphasis is not on the "right way" or the "wrong way" (except when clearly documented bad practice is discussed), but on how best practice stems from well-informed and logical decision-making. Decision Making Focus – The book’s introductory chapter addresses the need for a clearly developed and consistently applied set of values to guide decision making. Likewise, each section introduction includes a decision making framework regarding some aspect of educating, counseling, or parenting gifted students. This book is appropriate for introductory level courses in gifted education or courses in program development and planning. It is also suitable for school personnel responsible for making program planning decisions in the area of gifted education and for academic libraries with holdings in this area.

Download or read book The Gifted Child in Peer Group Perspective written by Barry H. Schneider and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Applied Psychologist's Initiation to the Study of Gifted Children My interest in the subject matter of this book, the peer relations of gifted children, intensified enormously as result of my' involvement with one gifted child during my days as a school psychologist. At that time, I served a number of schools in a prosperous suburb. I spent most of my time working with children with behavioral and learning disorders. I received very few requests to assist gifted youngsters and their teachers, perhaps because, at that point, I was not very sensitive to their needs. One autumn I was involved in something from which I derived a great deal of satisfaction-helping the teachers of a very advanced retarded boy with Down's syndrome maintain himself in a regular first-grade class. In retrospect, the achievements of this student, Jeff, would have justified my calling him exceptionally bright, given the limits of his endowment. I was interrupted from my observation of Jeff's success in class by a phone call from another school, one to which I had not previously been summoned. I was asked to discuss the case of an intellectually gifted child who was bored, moody, difficult, and disliked by those around him.
