Abstract
The psycho-social adjustment of 50 gifted (mean IQ = 127) and 50 Germa n ten-year-olds of average intelligence (mean IQ = 106, matched indivi dually on socio-economic status and gender) was compared. Data from di fferent sources (children, parents, teachers) on social behaviour (the rapy-relevant) behaviour problems, and emotional stability revealed no significant differences between the two ability groups. Gifted elemen tary-school children are socially and emotionally at least as well adj usted as their non-gifted age-mates.
