  • This study examined the relationship between giftedness in women and their perceptions of how their parents behaved toward them in terms of acceptance, psychological control, and behavioral control. Sixty-six gifted and nongifted women constituted the sample of investigation. Giftedness was assessed in four areas: learning, motivation, creativity, and leadership. Perceptions of the three parental behaviors were evaluated separately for the mothers and for the fathers. Findings suggested that perceptions of acceptance, psychological control, and behavioral control were significantly related to giftedness scores in women. In addition, gifted women were found to perceive that their mothers and fathers accepted them, supported their psychological autonomy, and exerted behavioral control over them. Perceived maternal acceptance and paternal psychological control were significantly predictable from giftedness scores. No significant differences were found between the formally identified gifted and nongifted women with respect to perceptions of the parental behaviors. However, significant differences were found between the two groups on their giftedness scores, indicating that giftedness was validly measured in the study. A discussion of the results, implications, and suggestions for future research are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
