Global and Specific Self-Concepts of Gifted Adolescents in Hong Kong

David W. Chan

Global and domain-specific self-concepts of 205 Chinese gifted adolescents in Hong Kong were assessed using 7 scales of the Chinese version of the Self-Perception Profile for Adolescents (SPPA; Chan, 1997; Harter, 1988). These adolescents differentiated 6 self-concept domains (Scholastic Competence, Social Acceptance, Athletic Competence, Physical Appearance, Behavioral Conduct, and Close Friendship), and their scores on general self-concept (Global Self-Worth) could be predicted by their scores on particular domain-specific self-concepts. On the basis of specific self-concept measures, relatively homogeneous clusters of gifted students (labeled the stereotyped gifted, the modest gifted, and the superstars) were identified. The characteristics of the three clusters of gifted adolescents were also interpreted in terms of students’ IQ, leadership, and the denial of giftedness.
