Karnes, Frances A.; Oehler-Stinnett, Judy J.
Psychology in the Schools, v23 n4 p406-14 Oct 1986
Investigated the perceived stressfulness of life events by 53 gifted adolescents. Subjects rated items related to achievement, social status, and career aspirations as more stressful. Pressure to perform was rated as stressful, but actually being labeled gifted was rated as a relatively low stressful event. (Author/ABB)
