Robert Sternberg’s (see record 2018-07419-003) Active Concerned Citizenship and Ethical Leadership (ACCEL) framework provides a helpful way to align gifted education with the complexities of 21st-century socioeconomic and cultural environments. The recommendation that we shift away from pseudoquantitative precision in conceptions of giftedness aligns with similar recommendations in other fields including political science, economics, and mathematics. The emphases on ethics and wisdom are reinforced by analyses of the need for more ethical awareness in societies. These analyses arise from research and theory in other fields, including ethical philosophy, political science, economics, history, sociology, and journalism. These transdisciplinary similarities are interpreted to be conceptual triangulation supporting the importance of Sternberg’s model as a catalyst for the development of more holistic conceptions of giftedness and talent.

This editorial introduces the current issue of the Roeper Review: A Journal on Gifted Education. The papers featured in this issue explore a critical thinking program in a Chinese context, the dynamics of over-excitability in the arts and athletics, some additional nuances in the always difficult process of identifying giftedness and talent, and some systemic-contextual influences on the development of mathematical ability. The issue also includes interesting interviews with a prominent champion of the gifted and with domain-specific experts who discover and develop “lost prizes."

This editorial presents an overview of the present issue of the Roeper Review. This collection of articles includes more exploration of dual exceptionality, big-picture frameworks, and practical interventions for the gifted in two nations and some deep probing into domain-specific expertise. Finally, to add some interdisciplinary flavor to each issue of the journal, the editor provides an insight from one or more "foreign" disciplines to help us think more expansively about giftedness, talent development, and creativity. These insights take the form of very brief summaries of work done in the social sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)

Severe socioeconomic inequality strongly suppresses and distorts the discovery of aspirations and the concomitant development of talents among the gifted. More comprehensive understanding of this suppression and distortion is available through a wide-ranging interdisciplinary search for research findings and theories that illuminate economic, ideological-political, historical, philosophical, and psychological contextual influences on bright young people. This theoretical synthesis draws from multiple disciplines to reveal some of these contextual influences and then provides some recommendations for ways in which educators and policymakers might attempt to counteract some of the most pernicious effects of growing inequality on the gifted.

Giftedness is a surprisingly complex, multidimensional construct. This chapter discusses the importance of macro contexts, specifically the ways in which they can influence our thinking about giftedness and talent development and some ways that they invigorate, suppress, and distort the development of gifted young people. These macro contexts include the socioeconomic, ideological, cultural, and technological environments that shape the thoughts and actions of individuals, groups, and nations. The chapter then presents examples of interdisciplinary projects that have informed the field in recent years. These projects include analyses of the impact of 21st-century globalization and the skills gifted and talented young people will need to navigate the complex environments of the near future. The analysis then turns to more in-depth discussions of the importance of borrowing from other disciplines to clarify, refine, and extend the conceptual foundations for gifted education and to enrich practical teaching strategies in the field. Finally, the chapter provides some recommendations for additional interdisciplinary work, along with some concluding thoughts about the nature of giftedness and talent in the early 21st century.

Wisdom always has been important in human thought and action, especially its ethical component, but it has become far more important in the context of twenty-first century globalization, which features highly complex, turbulent socioeconomic conditions and technological developments. To what extent does gifted education address wisdom? In order to keep the scope of the analysis within reason, this chapter focuses most of the attention on the ethical dimensions of wisdom, which are many and diverse. Some of the specific topics addressed by scholars who explore giftedness and talent development include the lack of fit between ethical thought and action; the importance of ethics in the development of gifted young people due to their impressive cognitive capacities; social-emotional influences on ethical behavior; and problems arising from the ways in which general education does not address the needs of the gifted. It is obvious that investigators studying giftedness have explored a wide variety of topics relevant to wisdom but there are some topics that are especially pertinent. These include some turbulent intrapersonal, psychological dynamics; programming specifically designed to strengthen wisdom; moral reasoning, global awareness, and character education; and the ethical dilemma of socioeconomic inequality.
