Life events as stressors with gifted adolescents |
|
| Authors: | Frances A Karnes Judy J Oehler-Stinnett |
| Abstract: | The present study investigated the perceived stressfulness of life events by 53 gifted adolescents in a rural southeastern area. In comparison to previous samples, these youths rated life events as similar except for items related to achievement, social status, and career aspirations, which they rated as more stressful. Pressure to perform was rated as stressful, but actually being labeled gifted was rated as a relatively low stressful event. |
