For this purpose, data collected from a survey completed by 246 primary school teachers residing in two states of Mexico were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that school administrative support, socio-emotional impact, and state of residence may be predictive of supportive attitudes toward acceleration. In comparison, socio-emotional impact, contact with gifted persons, and self-perceptions of giftedness were identified to be predictive of perceptions that acceleration may be elitist. The implications of the study findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"27 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1692649","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43779774","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}

Moreover, the empirical part of this study makes use of an innovative statistical method to address the problem of a frequentist approach to statistics in complex trait models which are based on personality questionnaire data. This study offers insight into the differential significance of overexcitability in relation to the established personality traits, emphasizing Dabrowski’s dynamic approach to personality and the key contribution of overexcitability in the developmental process. Furthermore, implications for the field of giftedness are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"1 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1668753","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47866711","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}

In a meta-analysis (Macnamara, Hambrick, & Oswald, 2014), we found DP did not explain even most of the individual differences in performance. We concluded DP is important, just not as important as Ericsson et al. argued. In a High Ability Studies article, Miller and colleagues (Miller et al., 2018) claim that “although all 88 studies in Macnamara et al. (2014) were ‘interpreted’ by the researchers as DP, in reality, they were not” (p. 5). Miller et al. reanalyzed our dataset and report performance correlated more strongly with DP (.40; our correlation was .38) than with activities they deemed nonDP (.21). We credit Miller et al. (2018) for their efforts. However, it is unclear what the criteria for DP were in their reanalysis. Furthermore, Miller et al. miss the mark on a critical methodological point.

In the following, we explicate the goals and structure of the special issue and highlight salient features of the contributions. The major aim of this special issue is to bring together conceptual and empirical research focusing on SRL in gifted, talented, and high-achieving learners. The contributors include psychologists and educational researchers, all of whom share extensive, complementary research experience in the areas of motivation and learning processes. Indeed, few scholars aremavens in both SRL and giftedness theory and research, and only a handful work at the intersections of the latter fields. Consequently, the majority of our contributors is more associated with motivation and learning processes than with giftedness and high-ability research. Despite their different professional backgrounds, all contributors rose to the challenge of applying their expertise to the context of gifted and talented education. The result of which—we are pleased to say—will be of great benefit for all those researchers and practitioners concerned with the crucial intersections of these areas of scientific inquiry. The special issue consists of ten articles, all written by seasoned researchers in the area of SRL, and an in-depth discussion of the papers by Phil Winne. The articles focus on different approaches to SRL (e.g., basic research about SRL processes, SRL in gifted students, and intervention studies), talent domains (school subjects, expertise areas, and professional fields), and learning settings (school, university, and professional settings) and employ various methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods). The editors of the special issue are grateful to the authors for their contributions as well as to the astute reviewers, who carefully read and gave feedback on the manuscripts. Also, thanks is due to Drs. Albert Ziegler for initiating the special issue and to Dr. Bettina Harder for expediting the editorial process.","PeriodicalId":46343,"journal":{"name":"High Ability Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"1 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13598139.2019.1601326","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43338094","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 aim of this article is to demonstrate the diversity and complexity of regulatory processes in talent development and to provide a conceptual framework. The proposed nonagonal framework of regulation in talent development (NFRTD) distinguishes nine dimensions for the analysis of regulation in talent development: regulatory network (neutral, co-operative, competitive, hybrid, and panarchic), regulatory function (homeostasis and homeorhesis), control type (external, internal-automatic, and internal-controlled), regulatory type (open-loop control and closed-loop control), regulatory form (iterative and recursive), regulatory activities (preventive, detective, and corrective), regulated structures (exogenous and endogenous learning resources), regulatory side-effects (neutral, synergetic, destructive, catalytic, exploitative, and allostatic), and regulatory externalities (neutral, iatrogenic, and autocatalytic).

I focus on students, in general, and gifted/high ability/talented students, in particular. I begin by discussing needed research in conceptualizing and modeling SRL, including constructing a consistent nomenclature for SRL and cognate variables; developing a tractable conceptual foundation for SRL and its components; and building models that are more refined. I then move on to discuss methodological fissures and shortcomings pertaining to sampling, measurement, and research design and analyses. I continue by pointing out some needed substantive areas of research, such as mapping out the nomological network of SRL, identifying distinct elements in the SRL process, exploring interactions between SRL and context, examining developmental differences in SRL, and further study of individual differences.
