Perceptions and Attitudes of Black Students toward School, Achievement, and Other Educational Variables.
Ford, Donna Y.; Harris, J. John, III
Child Development, v67 n3 p1141-52 Jun 1996
Compared attitudes of gifted black early adolescents in fifth and sixth grades to those of potentially gifted and regular education black students. Found that gifted black students' attitudes and perceptions were significantly different from those of the other two groups. Of the three groups, gifted black students were the most achievement oriented, and perceived strong parental achievement orientations. (HTH)
