Abstract

This article draws from longitudinal research on gifted students to provide method considerations for school psychology research. First, we provide some background of gifted and talented education in the United States. Then, drawing from multiple longitudinal samples of gifted students, in particular the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth (SMPY), we illustrate the role of replications, including constructive replications. In the middle two sections, we highlight methodological design features focused first on predictors, and then on outcomes, considering types, magnitude, and breadth. Finally, we provide additional considerations and future directions, including expanding the outcome domain, overcoming the limitations of past gifted and talented research studies, and suggesting possibilities for future research. Our article may help improve school psychology research as well as assist school psychology researchers interested in conducting their own longitudinal studies using gifted samples.

资优学生纵向研究对学校心理学方法的启示

本文通过对资优学生的纵向研究，为学校心理学研究提供方法上的思考。首先，我们介绍了美国资优教育的一些背景。然后，我们从多个资优学生纵向样本，特别是数学早熟青少年研究（SMPY）中，说明了复制（包括建设性复制）的作用。在中间两节中，我们强调了方法论设计的特点，首先关注预测因素，然后关注结果，考虑类型、幅度和广度。最后，我们提供了更多的考虑因素和未来方向，包括扩大结果领域、克服以往资优研究的局限性以及提出未来研究的可能性。我们的文章可能有助于改进学校心理学研究，并帮助有兴趣使用资优样本开展纵向研究的学校心理学研究人员。
