Using Teacher Ratings of Social Behavior to Differentiate Gifted from Non-Gifted Students.

Merrell, Kenneth W.; Gill, Steven J.

Roeper Review, v16 n4 p286-89 Jun 1994

Administration of the School Social Behavior Scales to 81 elementary-age gifted students indicated that subjects had higher levels of social competence and lower levels of antisocial behavior than did a comparison group. Findings also indicated the presence of a small subset of gifted students with extremely poor social competence and high levels of problem behaviors. (Author/JDD)
