Abstract
ABSTRACT The person-centered typological approach to personality enables researchers to explore configurations of traits within individuals (i.e., personality types), and the ways these types are related to specific outcomes. The objectives of the present study were twofold: (1) to explore personality types or profiles among the sample of gifted adolescents, and (2) to examine the associations of these profiles with life satisfaction, perceived social support, and academic achievement. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) revealed four distinct profiles: Resilients, Averages, Overcontrollers, and Calm and Laidback Introverts. Resilients was the largest profile, representing more than half of the sample. Students belonging to this group had a favorable pattern of personality traits and scored highest on life satisfaction. Resilients also had high perceived social support and academic achievement.
期刊介绍:
High Ability Studies provides a forum for scholars in a variety of disciplines associated with the development of human abilities to their highest level. It is a medium for the promotion of high ability, whether through the communication of scientific research, theory, or the exchange of practical experience and ideas. The contents of this journal are unique in reflecting concerns and recent developments in this area from childhood and across the whole life span in a variety of contexts. Far from being restricted to the traditional focus on high-level cognitive development, it also presents investigations into all other areas of human endeavour, including sport, technology, the arts, business, management and social relations.
