Gifted Child Quarterly, v46 n2 p124-34 Spr 2002

A study investigated the influence of self-concept and perceived family environment on psychosocial adjustment among 180 early-entrance college students (ages 14-17). Family cohesion, conflict, and expressiveness and overall self-concept were predictive of adjustment to college. Family cohesion, organization, control, conflict, and overall self-concept predicted first semester grade-point average. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
