Two groups of mathematically gifted 10th-grade Ss and 2 groups of environmentally privileged students represented the top 1% on a standard measure of quantitative ability, and the upper 1% of a conventional socioeconomic status (SES) index. These groups were compared to one another by gender, and to their gender-equivalent normative cohorts on 43 indices of medical and physical well-being (MPWB). Although higher levels of physical health were found in both gifted and privileged groups (relative to the norm), MPWB was more highly associated with mathematical giftedness than with extreme levels of socioeconomic privilege. Findings confirm the view that the nomothetic span (network of correlates) of general intelligence permeates a variety of important and valued nonintellectual domains.

Compared psychological profiles of 497 male and 508 female mathematically gifted 10th graders with those of normative groups. Typical gender differentiating attributes (e.g., interest patterns) were less stereotyped in gifted males and females. Gifted Ss were intellectually superior across a wide range of cognitive abilities; however, evidence for more mathematical specificity in the gifted Ss than in controls was also detected. Classic male/female differences were observed on measures of mathematical ability. A 13-yr follow-up of 216 male and 191 female gifted Ss revealed that 8% of gifted males and 19% of gifted females in the follow-up did not obtain college degrees, indicating that a proportion of Ss did not make full use of their abilities.

reflect on the complex difference between intellectual giftedness and genius / focus on factors, many intriguing in and of themselves, that are characteristic of genius / the author's primary thesis is that the emergence of genius is best described using a multiplicative model / argue that exceptional achievement is a multiplicative function of a number of different traits, each of which is normally distributed, but which in combination are so synergistic as to skew the resulting distribution of achievement / how many different traits are involved in producing extraordinary achievement, and what are they / provide some conjectures that can be drawn on to answer this critical question intelligence / creativity [the creative process, psychosis, productivity, mental energy, other personality correlates, characteristics of genius: some conclusions] / giftedness and genius: important differences / educational implications (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

describe the planned 50-yr longitudinal study that is being conducted by the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY) / present data from SMPY and the psychological literature that have relevance for identifying the early psychological antecedents of competence and satisfaction at all points along the math/science pipeline, from selecting a college major to earning a doctorate in a technical discipline / factors especially conducive to exceptional achievements will be given particular attention, as will special influences that contribute to the optimal educational and vocational development of the nascent physical scientist; possible influences related to gender differences in achievement will be stressed Ss are selected for [the] longitudinal study around ages 12 to 13, in the seventh or eighth grade (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)

focus specifically on factors relating to educational/vocational choice, exceptional educational/vocational achievements and gender differences within the gifted population / our research . . . is also aimed at program experimentation and refinement of well-known educational interventions draw on the longitudinal findings from SMPY [Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth] to illustrate key antecedents to gender differences in the physical sciences / describe the design of our study and its theoretical framework / [discuss] gender differences in actual achievement among the mathematically talented and some empirical findings involving gender differences on familiar as well as underappreciated variables critical for choosing to excel in math/science domains (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)
