| Subjects: | PERFECTIONISM (Personality trait), EDUCATION of gifted children, MIDDLE school education, SECONDARY education research, MULTIDIMENSIONAL Perfectionism Scale (Personality test) |
| Abstract: | To provide further generalizability for the results garnered by two previous studies, the authors conducted a methodological replication. In addition to adding to the body of replication research done with gifted students, the purpose of this study was to examine perfectionism differences among gifted adolescents in regards to gender, birth order, and grade level. Gifted adolescents enrolled in a rural middle and high school (N = 96) responded to the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Results revealed differences in regard to birth order, gender, and grade level. These results suggest that more research needs to be conducted to determine the relationship between perfectionism and gender, birth order, and age/grade level. Implications for parents, practitioners, and counselors are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
