Brody, Linda E.; Benbow, Camilla Persson
Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v15 n1 p1-18 Feb 1986
Indices of social and emotional adjustment were investigated in highly verbally or mathematically talented adolescents. Highly gifted students reported more internal locus of control and less popularity than the comparison students. No differences were found in self-esteem, depression, or the incidence of discipline problems. The Self Esteem Questions are appended. (Author/LMO)
