Research indicates they are not more likely to engage in suicidal behaviors than other students. They do have unique risk and protective factors, however. Risk factors can accumulate to outweigh protective factors, causing a downward trajectory toward psychache, a condition of intense psychological pain and hopelessness. Without intervention, SWGT suffering from psychache are in imminent danger of suicide. This paper outlines an ecological model of suicidal behavior among SWGT that provides an explanation and framework for future research and prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"105 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2020.1733391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42665543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zeidner","doi":"10.1080/13598139.2020.1733392","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13598139.2020.1733392","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Achieving happiness is considered to be a high value goal in modern society, associated with manifold positive outcomes. Much of the literature on gifted students focuses on cognitive outcomes, with a paucity of research on positive psychological constructs. The major goal of this paper is to examine the empirical evidence bearing on the happiness of gifted students when compared to their nonidentified students from a positive psychological perspective. The methodology of this study is based on a small-scale meta-analysis of the six available studies providing empirical data on differences among educational groups in their happiness. These six studies included a total of 1632 participants (mean proportion male =  53%), comprised of 713 gifted (61% boys) and 919 nonidentified students (47% boys). Overall, this study failed to reveal mean reliable differences among educational groups in happiness, supporting the position that giftedness is more of a protective resource than a vulnerability factor. Directions for future research in this relatively neglected, yet important, area of research are presented. This paper concludes by contending that gifted students who are happy and also feel they are contributing to the greater good and improving life, are also more likely to flourish and eventually benefit both themselves and society as a whole.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"125 - 142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2020.1733392","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44172706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We studied two paired cases from a pool of 32 talented U-20 players who were twice World Champions. The first paired case is a set of monozygotic twins that played football for exactly the same period of time yet only one of them was selected for the national team. The second paired case refers to an outstanding player who got injured and withdrew from his football career and the player who replaced him in the national team. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and then analyzed inductively. The results provide a description of opportunities (affordances) that could only be taken by those who were ready to act skillfully when such rare event occurred. To act on such affordances (or not) may dramatically change the outcome of a player’s career. These results suggest that expert performance and high achievement emerge from circumstances resulting from the self-organization of several performer-environmental factors. Acting on such opportunities (affordances) implies being perceptually attuned to and ready for unpredictable events. This research builds on the ecological dynamics approach and provides a basis for further understanding of expertise and expert performance.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"89 - 103"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2020.1728191","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48642642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a real honor for me, and I am deeply grateful to the General Committee of the European Council of High Abilities (ECHA) for this opportunity. I feel genuinely overwhelmed by your confidence in me, and this incredible opportunity to lead such a prestigious journal in the field of giftedness and talent. I also want to express my gratitude to Dr. Albert Ziegler, the last Editor-in-Chief of the journal. I fondly remember our first meeting in Nuremberg, during my academic stay at your university in 2016. Since then, I feel extremely fortunate to have known a fantastic person like you, even beyond our research collaborations. Further, I extend my gratitude to Manuel Hopp, who is the Assistant Editor of the journal and was also one of my partners during my stay in Nuremberg. Both of you have ensured the smooth transition of the journal’s editorship. In fact, all the contributions of the present issue have been processed under Dr. Ziegler’s editorship. This journal has experienced significant growth since its inception. During my doctoral thesis apprenticeship about underachievement in secondary education, High Ability Studies had a great impact on me. Through the journal, I discovered crucial contributions that shed light on the international community. In my opinion, the journal has achieved three important advances: (1) the establishment of a consistent and dynamic theoretical perspective regarding giftedness and talent; (2) an open perspective concerning high abilities in formal and informal contexts; and (3) the application of distinct methodologies in specific domains, such as STEM, sports, or arts. In conjunction, these achievements invest in the expected communion between theorists and practitioners. Given my experience as an educational counselor in both primary and secondary education, I think that we should continue to progress in this direction. Thus, empirical studies should be the basis to construct a more solid and dynamic theory. As a clear example of this goal, it is important to mention the journal’s latest issue on selfregulated learning (SRL) by gifted, talented, and high-achieving learners. I sincerely believe that these contributions will have a consistent impact on effective SRL systems in different contexts.

This study adds to the existing knowledge by providing a further exploration of the within-year and between-year effects and their possible interaction in an individual skill/technique based sport: table tennis. Data of male and female elite players across ages (U15, U18, U21, and senior) were collected from the ranking lists in international (world and Europe) and national contexts (France and the Netherlands). A multi-way frequency analysis per subsample revealed (1) no interaction effects; (2) significant within-year and between-year effects for the U15 players in the international context and male French players; (3) a significant within-year effect in the French U18 category; (4) a significant within-year effect in female European U21; and (5) no within-year effects in the senior category. Table tennis seems to be at risk for within-year and between-year effects specifically within the context of high competitive level for younger players (U15, males, and females), but not for interactions between these effects. Future research should reveal the development of the RAEs over time in a longitudinal study, evaluate influencing constraints, and innovative prevention solutions in a more comprehensive way.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"31 1","pages":"115 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1596071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42220770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority of gifted education researchers studying underrepresentation in gifted programming focus on consequences resulting from a single setting in which the student interacts (e.g. home, school). Consequently, less attention is given to the nested network of interactions between multiple settings that play a role in underrepresentation. It is our goal to examine the existing frameworks that have been used to understand the obstacles faced by students who are underrepresented in their school’s gifted programs. By providing examples of proximal processes and the Process–Person–Context–Time (PPCT) model, we show how Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory provides the most suitable framework for exploring (1) identification issues for underrepresented minority students with gifted capabilities who have not been formally identified for gifted programming and (2) challenges faced by underrepresented minority students who have participated in a gifted program after having been formally identified as gifted.

The Murphy-Meisgeir Type Indicator for Children and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-Adolescent were used to measure the personality types and psychiatric symptoms of 232 gifted middle-school students in South Korea. Results found that introversion predicted all of the symptoms but hypomania. Intuition predicted the symptoms of psychopathic deviance and schizophrenia and feeling predicted those of depression and conversion hysteria. Other predictive relationships were found between perceiving and hypomania and between judging and depression and social introversion. Creatively gifted students with introverted and intuitive personality types exhibited several symptoms than were academically gifted students of the same personality. Regarding gender, introverted males were more vulnerable to psychiatric symptoms compared to introverted females, and perceptive females had a higher chance to show hypomania than perceptive males.

In Study 1, 473 gifted girls from eight high schools in Taiwan participated, and, based on a self-reported survey, the results indicated 52.5% possessed neutral characteristics and it also implied that they simultaneously possessed masculine and feminine characteristics. Meanwhile, the higher the social gender-role awareness and career self-efficacy, the better was that individual’s career development. However, when compared to gifted girls in language/social sciences, the career self-efficacy and career development of STEM gifted girls was significantly lower. Later, 70 gifted girls continually participated in Study 2, on a voluntary basis. We found that although STEM gifted girls had their own goals and direction when it came to universities, the higher they are in the education stage, the lower the career self-efficacy and lower science learning interest they may have. This would have a certain degree of impact on their subsequent career development.

The results demonstrated that intellectually gifted children showed better academic performance than did average children in math, Chinese and English. Fluid intelligence and trait EI played different roles in predicting gifted and average children’s academic performance, particularly in math and Chinese. Specifically, gifted children’s academic performance was associated only with fluid intelligence, whereas average children’s academic performance was related to both fluid intelligence and trait EI; trait EI had an incremental validity after controlling for fluid intelligence in predicting the average children’s academic performance.
