Parental Beliefs about Giftedness in Young Children and Their Relation to Actual Ability Level.
Louis, Barbara; Lewis, Michael
Gifted Child Quarterly, v36 n1 p27-31 Win 1992
This study found that parents (n=118) who believed their preschool children to be gifted tended to (1) have specific beliefs concerning the constituents of giftedness, (2) exhibit a fairly high degree of accuracy in their judgements, and (3) have beliefs differing as a function of their children's actual ability levels.
