Self-Concepts of Gifted Students as Measured by the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale

Abstract

Self-concepts of gifted children were studied using the Piers-Harris Children's Self-concept Scale. No significant differences were found among grades, between sexes, or between students enrolled in such programs. A significant difference was found between the gifted students and the standardization population, suggesting higher self-esteem for the gifted.
