This ongoing investigation was concerned with why some children were labeled gifted while others of identical measured ability were not. Each labeled "gifted" child was matched for age, sex, and socioeconomic status (SES) with two others in the same school class. The first matched child had an identical Raven's Matrices raw score, and the second was chosen at random for ability (N = 210). The study, begun in 1974 across the UK, used a battery of tests, including IQ, personality, behavior, and in-depth interviews of children, parents, and teachers. The group labeled gifted were found to have significantly more emotional problems than the nonlabeled group, which they mostly grew out of. This follow-up study demonstrates that for the subjects now in their 40s, a gifted childhood has not always delivered outstanding adult success. Better predictive factors for adult success were hard work, emotional support, and a positive, open personal outlook. By 2005, the labeled and nonlabeled gifted groups were not very different in life outcomes, though both groups were much more successful than the random-ability group.

Reviews studies of gifted and talented children, describing both the origins and emotional vulnerabilities of the gifted and the education for the gifted. Potential talent requires the opportunity to flourish, which includes materials to learn with, as well as teaching and encouragement to practice. Furthermore, without emotional support, children of high potential will not put in the necessary time to develop their talent to a level of recognizable excellence. The assumption that a high IQ is essential for outstanding achievement is giving way to recognition of the vital role of support and example, knowledge acquisition, and personal attributes. It is suggested that rather than continuing to search for the definition and identification of the gifted, it would be more productive to look at the dynamic interaction between children and their instruction.

Discusses giftedness as defined as a sociocultural phenomenon, the relationships between labeling and expectation, giftedness as a deviation from normality, and the problems of parents of gifted children and their membership in parents' organizations. The relationships among intelligence, achievement, and environment are discussed, and proposals for identification procedures and educational provisions are presented.

This chapter looks at how conceptions of giftedness can change lives. The major obstructions to the realization of gifted potential are socioeducational, and they exist everywhere in the world in different forms. They can be summed up in just three powerful and overlapping aspects: (1) morality, (2) gender, and (3) emotion. These aspects are discussed in detail in this chapter, along with international differences in conceptions of giftedness, and the fact that strong pressure to conform to expectations--positive or negative--affects the gifted one's life paths for decades.

There are many controversies, conflicting research findings and widely-held misconceptions about psychosocial development as it intersects with giftedness. The author argues here that although advanced academic ability may be correlated with higher scores on tests of moral reasoning, it does not necessarily lead to more moral behavior.

Education administrators in most European countries seem to be aware that gifted and talented children need special provision to reach their potential. Their concerns can be seen in directives to schools where children with gifts and talents are valued, sought, and provided with appropriate educational services. However, these concerns are neither always obvious, nor necessarily evident in terms of actual official legislation. In many countries, notably in Scandinavia, the identification of gifted and talented children in education is purposefully avoided. Instead, educational aims are expressed as personalized and child-centered to help every child realize their potential. The preferred educational approaches in those countries where gifted education is overtly avoided are through in-school and out-of-school enrichment. When it is seen as necessary, a child may be offered extra teaching in a specialist area such as mathematics or music. Indeed, in theory, if each child is considered valuable and provided with an appropriate education, the most able will reach their potential.
