Sebepojetí a sebehodnocení rozumove nadaných detí

This work was conceived in the context of developing the care for gifted children in the Czech Republic, increasing the interest in this matter, and rising emphasis of the importance of self-image not only for the quality of the empowerment of a person, but also for the influence on the whole level of psychosocial adaptation. The main goal of our investigation was to identify the differences in the self-image profiles related to individual components of the self-concept and the whole self-image between groups of intellectually gifted children and children with average ability. Leading materials were taken from the component conceptions of abilities and a character developmental approach for studying of ability. We included the effect of other intellectual-related characteristics: creativity, personality characteristics of a child and mother, chosen anamnestic family data, emotional relationship with the parents and a sibling, and a handicap.
