1. Educational and Family Perceptions of Exceptionally Gifted and Gifted Preadolescent Boys.

Author

Albert, Robert S. and Runco, Mark A.

Abstract

The study examined the perceptions of two gifted samples (n=54) and a nongifted control group (n=130) of preadolescent boys (ages 12-13) regarding their school and peer experiences, intrafamily roles, discipline and identification models, and career choices. Results of a 62-item questionnaire indicated that the group identified as having exceptionally high intelligence quotient (IQ) scores (above 150) considered a wider range of careers and perceived their families as warmer and more closely knit than did boys in the sample identified as exceptionally gifted in math/science (based on standardized measures of mathematical and science aptitude scores). Subjects in the sample identified as gifted in math/science had a more positive and academic view of school. Exceptionally gifted subjects' views of school were significantly correlated with their cognitive scores but unrelated to their creative scores. Results suggested that preadolescent boys' reported school and family experiences differed according to type of cognitive giftedness as well as whether or not they were cognitively gifted. Family and psycho-educational implications are discussed. (Author/JW)

2. Personality and Family Variables and Exceptionally Gifted Boys' Creative Potential.

Author

Albert, Robert S. and Runco, Mark A.

Abstract

The purpose of this longitudinal project was to determine the influence of the family upon the early development and implementation of a gifted child's talent. Researchers examined two samples of exceptionally gifted boys and their families. One sample had cognitive scores within the 99th percentile in the mathematics-science domain; the other had IQ's over 150. The study was based on the following set of postulates: (1) creativity and intelligence share a number of attributes and perform in similar ways within a person's interactions with his environment; (2) the gifted person must undergo several developmental transformations that change their early giftedness into appropriate dispositions; (3) these transformations begin within the family but become refined by formal and informal education; (4) the family directs a child's early giftedness into progressively more suitable interests; (5) giftedness has a developmental history of its own. Results demonstrated statistical support for the association between the measures of creative potential and creative performance; moreover, the high IQ sample had creativity scored more closely tied to family variables that the math-science group. Researchers concluded that different types of cognitive exceptionality relate to different patterns of family experiences as conveyed by measn of their parents' personality traits. (RB)

3. Exceptionally Gifted Children's Personality Dispositions, and Their Relationship to Parental Personality and the Family Environment.

Author

Runco, Mark A. and Albert, Robert S.

Abstract

The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) was administered to 54 exceptionally gifted (either high IQ's or high math science abilities) preadolescents and their parents. The profiles and factor structure of the 18 CPI scales were examined. The profiles of the parents were relatively even, suggesting that they are intellectually and socially effective. The Achievement via Independence scores were particularly high. The preadolescents' profiles were generally lower than the parents', with very low average scores on the Well Being scale and high scores on the Flexibility scale. Five factors were extracted from the scores of each group. Factor scores reflected several differences between exceptionally high IQ subjects and exceptionally high math-science subjects such as on the Poise factor. (Author/DB)
