Low Incidence of Behavior Problems among Elementary School Students in Gifted Programs.

Cornell, Dewey G.; And Others

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v18 n1 p4-19 Fall 1994

Gifted (n=675) and regular education (n=322) students in grades two and three were compared for incidence of behavior problems as rated by parents and teachers. After controlling for grade and minority status, no significant differences were found between groups in incidence or type of behavior problems. Agreement between parent and teacher ratings was surprisingly low. (Author/DB)
