Equally cursed and blessed: Do gifted and talented children experience poorer mental health and psychological well-being?
Jones, T.
Since the 19th century, contradictory reports in theoretical and empirical research papers have suggested that being ‘gifted and talented’ is either a risk factor (it is associated with indicators of more negative mental health and well-being) or a protective factor (it is connected to positive psychological outcomes) when these individuals are compared to the general population.
