Description
Our previous research indicates that intellectually gifted students may have more specialized expectations for their friends, inside and outside school, whereas other students might have more common expectations for the benefits gained from all of their friends. The current study further examines the role of friendships for gifted students amongst several different groups of high school and university students. Questions are asked regarding how many friends these individuals currently have and how many friends they ideally would like to have. Learning objectives include gaining further insight into how this information can increase knowledge regarding an important aspect of social-emotional well-being.
