Title
Sex, handedness and allergy: Are they related to academic giftedness?
Abstract
Attempted to replicate findings by C. P. Benbow (see record 1988-07078-001) that sex, left-handedness, and allergy occur more frequently in highly gifted students. 69 male and 27 female gifted 7th graders and 25 male and 71 female less gifted 7th graders completed questionnaires that contained self-report measures of handedness and allergy. Consistent with Benbow's data, results support sex differences in the number of highly gifted; males constituted nearly three-fourths of the highly gifted. Results failed to replicate Benbow's finding that the highly gifted were more likely to be left-handed and to have allergies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

Benbow (ver registro 1988-07078-001) de que el sexo, la zurdera y la alergia ocurren con mayor frecuencia en estudiantes superdotados. 69 hombres y 27 mujeres superdotados de 7º grado y 25 hombres y 71 mujeres menos dotadas de 7º grado completaron cuestionarios que contenían medidas de autoinforme de lateralidad y alergia. De acuerdo con los datos de Benbow, los resultados respaldan las diferencias de sexo en el número de superdotados; Los varones constituían casi las tres cuartas partes de los superdotados. Los resultados no lograron replicar el hallazgo de Benbow de que los superdotados eran más propensos a ser zurdos y a tener alergias.
