Too Much Too Soon? Non-Radical Advanced Grade Placement and the Self-Concept of Gifted Students.
Plucker, Jonathan A.; Taylor, John Wesley, V
Gifted Education International, v13 n2 p121-35 1998
This study investigated the relationship between advanced-grade placement and the self-concept of 600 gifted adolescents. No differences were found in any facet of self-concept between grade-advanced and non-advanced students nor in interactions of advanced status and gender and/or grade level. Caucasian students were significantly more likely to be grade advanced than Hispanic or African-American students. (DB)
