  • Past research has suggested that the personality of gifted adolescents may vary as a function of the specific area of giftedness, the absolute level of giftedness, and the Ss' sex. Mathematical ability is of particular interest, since this ability area is usually stereotyped as being more appropriate for males and may have different effects on the personalities of gifted boys and girls. The present study investigated the self-esteem and self-concepts of 216 7th and 8th graders who were either highly gifted, able, or average in mathematical ability. Results from the Adjective Check List indicate that mathematical ability affected the self-esteem of only girls and that both sex of S and level of ability had an effect on the content of the self-descriptions. Findings do not support the image of the mathematically gifted as uniquely critical or emotionally detached from peers. (20 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
