An Examination of Terman's Gifted Children from the Theory of Identity.
Zuo, Li; Cramond, Bonnie
Gifted Child Quarterly, v45 n4 p251-59 Fall 2001
Employing E. Erikson's identity theory within J. Marcia's operational framework, the association between identity formation and adult achievement was examined in a subset of gifted individuals from Terman's longitudinal study. Significant relationships were found between identity formation and occupational success. Most successful individuals were identity achievers whereas the least successful were more likely identity diffusers. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
