Much modern laboratory research on creative thinking, or "in vitro" research, is based on the "remote-associates" perspective, which assumes that creative advances arise through bringing together ideas which were previously "remotely associated," that is, not directly linked. That view has provided the foundation for…

The research is focused on a comparison of the declared importance of fulfilling selected criteria of inclusive education between gifted students and students with special educational needs (SENs). Using the P-KAP II questionnaire, data were obtained from 541 secondary general schools (SGS) and secondary technical schools (STS). The findings…

Self-report, trait-based instruments have provided data about adolescents and their emotional development. However, a holistic and self-referential view of the emotionality of the adolescent who is gifted remains elusive. The theoretical framework of emotionality was tailored for this inquiry by combining two prominent theories of emotional…

The Psychosocial Theoretical Model of Gifted Adolescent Girls' Career Development (PTM) is a framework which reveals the interrelated factors that influence career development for gifted adolescent girls. The model was developed during the completion of a PhD thesis (Napier, 2020) and provides important new insights to support their career…

School counselors are to leverage purposeful interventions to support the career development of gifted and talented students.
