Gifts and Talents as Sources of Envy in High School Settings.

Masse, Line; Gagne, Francoys

Gifted Child Quarterly, v46 n1 p15-29 Win 2002

French Canadian gifted and typical high school students (n=689) completed two questionnaires addressing both the envy they felt and the envy expressed toward them. Students manifested more envy toward their peers' social and financial successes than toward their academic achievements or intelligence, but named their academic talent as enviable.
