A Study on the Psychological Well-Being of Gifted High School Students

Vildan Aslan*

Gifted individuals are those who demonstrate high-level performance in many aspects [1]. Although this appears to be an advantageous trait for gifted individuals, it can sometimes turn into a disadvantage. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the positive psychology-based psycho-education program developed by the researcher has an effect on the psychological well-being levels of gifted students. The study group consists of 12 gifted students studying at a high school. The students participated in a psychological well-being training program for 8 weeks, with sessions held once a week for 1 h. For data analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon Tests were used. The study concluded that there was a significant difference in the PWB-SF results when comparing the pre-training and post-training outcomes. It was also found that factors such as age, gender, targeted profession and family unity did not affect the PWB-SF and FAS results. Another finding was that the FAS results predicted the PWB-SF results.
