“…2009) on general anxiety among gifted learners, whereas nearly there are no research studying the relationship between foreign language anxiety and giftedness, except for the study called Language Anxiety among Gifted Learners in Malaysia (Kamarulzaman, et al,2013), which concludes that gifted learners have certain level of language anxiety in English language setting; that language anxiety negatively correlates with gifted learners' English language performance.

Anxiety related to foreign language has been widely held in recent years and associated studies have found a negative correlation between language anxiety and the academic performance of English-speaking students. Whenever foreign language learners express themselves in a second language, there is an anxiety about the image that is communicated through linguistic difficulties.There is a fear that his personal image will be distorted because of grammatical errors and rarefied vocabulary. This study aims to research foreign language anxiety among gifted students who are attending science, math and art classes in Science and Art Centers (BİLSEM). For this purpose, 146 (81 males and 65 female) gifted and talented students aged 12-17 were selected. This study used a mixed (quantitative method and qualitative) thereby applying a Foreign Language Anxiety Scale (for English language) to participants and using semi-structured interview questions with 10 gifted students (5 sciences, 2 arts and 3 from music class). The quantitative data results were compared via SPSS and the qualitative data were examined through descriptive analysis. The study revealed that participants attending art and music classes have far lower foreign language anxiety levels than those attending science classes. This difference between group was statistically meaningful according to SPSS analysis. The qualitative study also supported the results by quantitative studies.

“…This tendency may account for the variability of responses that was found to be characteristic of extroverts. Extroverts have low perceptual rigidity (Canestrari, 1957), low rigidity in thinking (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1962;Watson, 1967;White, 1968), high intrapersonal variability (Eysenck, 1947), high variation in sexual partners (Wilson & Nias, 1975), high variety-seeking on monotonous tasks (Hill, 1975), low persistence (Payne, 1973, p. 472), high alternation behavior (Eysenck, 1967), more fluctuations of reversible figures, and more changes in choice-of-viewing situations (Wilson, 1978). Further, exviants were found to have larger variability in simple reaction times, less persistence, and more "cognitive plasticity" (Hundleby et al, 1965, p. 301, Items 263 and 402, p. 295).…”

“…Even though it is clear anxiety may affect cognitive performance, considerably less is known about the effect of anxiety on creative thinking in general or the moderating effect anxiety may have on attempts to improve creative thinking. Past researches seem to support the idea that those who score low on anxiety have higher verbal creative thinking scores (Fleischer & Cohen, 1965;Grimm & Nachmias, 1977;White, 1968). However, not all of the data support this idea (Feldhusen, Denny, & Condon, 1965;Strauss, Hadar, Shavit, & Itskowitz, 1981).…”
