A Counselor Educator Situates Two Seminal Studies In The Cultural Values And Underrepresentation Literature 30 Years Later, Jean P. Peterson Mar 2023

A Counselor Educator Situates Two Seminal Studies In The Cultural Values And Underrepresentation Literature 30 Years Later, Jean P. Peterson

SENG Journal: Exploring the Psychology of Giftedness

Emerging themes in an interview-based qualitative study of dominant-culture teachers’ beliefs about giftedness in the late 1900s reflected that behavior, verbal assertiveness, family status, a strong work ethic, and social skills mattered most. In a similar study in five culturally and linguistic diverse (CLD) communities at that time, themes differed from community to community, and collectively from the teachers'. Findings are pertinent to the underrepresentation of CLD students in gifted-education programs currently because teachers continue to be gatekeepers when asked to refer students for programs and what they value matters. The research approach is also of interest. The methods used …

Individual Difference Predictors Of Creative Ideation, Sakhavat Mammadov

SENG Journal: Exploring the Psychology of Giftedness

Researchers have long been interested in individual difference variables as predictors of creativity.

Social Stress In Honors College Students: How Personality Traits, Perfectionism, Creativity, And Gender Predict Use Of Social Coping Strategies, Angie L. Miller

However, once these gifted individuals enter higher education, they are often required to shift their coping strategies to deal with stressors and situations in this new environment. This study investigates social coping strategies among honors college undergraduate students, looking at the need for updating the factor structure of a measure of social coping designed for and used with middle and high school students. Results suggest …
