  • Title: Relationship between perceived parental behaviors and the self-esteem of gifted children.
    Author: Enright KM, Ruzicka MF.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1989 Dec; 65(3 Pt 1):931-7. PubMed ID: 2608852.
    Abstract:
    This pilot study sought to investigate parent-child interactions which influenced self-esteem in a sample of gifted children. 13 gifted children, aged 6 to 10 yr., who were enrolled in a private elementary school, were tested on the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory and the Parent Practices Questionnaire (PPQ). Significant correlations obtained between (1) each of four maternal PPQ variables (physical punishment, consistency of expectations, principled discipline, and support) and (2) one paternal PPQ variable (deprivation of privileges) with the total self-esteem score. Maternal variables and dimensions, more than paternal, appear to influence self-esteem in these subjects. Explanations for these findings are proposed along with recommendations for study.
