Li, Anita K. F.; Adamson, Georgina
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v18 n3 p284-97 Spr 1995
This study, involving 169 intellectually gifted secondary students, found that gifted girls, more than gifted boys, attributed both success and failure in mathematics, science, and English to effort and strategy. Gifted girls also tended to report greater confidence and interest in English. No gender differences were found in terms of maladaptive motivational tendency. (Author/DB)
