Abstract

V originále

The literature concerning the social and emotional development of the gifted children is very extensive and the self-concept of the gifted children is one of the most often researching area. It results in huge amount of contrary findings. There is no conclusive agreement whether social and emotional problems are more common by the gifted children. In a similar way in the issue of the differences between gifted girls and boys self-concept researchers reach distinct conclusions. The results of our reasearch are in accordance with that studies which find girls higher self-concept. These significant differences are related to the domains of the social acceptance, physical appearance and behavioral conduct. In all these areas girls evaluate themselves better than boys. In the group of non-gifted children the situation differs. The girls reach higher rates only in the domain of behavioral conduct. Such a consistent result in both groups probably matches the social reality-girls are 'good', 'calm', 'adaptable' and they have less behaviour problems than boys.
