Competitive Goal Orientations, Quality, and Stability in Gifted and Other Adolescents' Friendships

Abstract: Competitive goal orientations were rated by self, peers, and teachers for 38 gifted- and 38 regular-program, same-sex, friendship dyads (19 female and 19 male) from grades 7 and 8 (N = 152). Gifted dyads were reassessed on friendship quality and stability at the end of the school year and after the summer. Gifted students were more task-oriented and comparison students more other-referenced. Task-orientation was related to fewer friendship conflicts, more friendly competition, and, for gifted students, greater… Show more

“…As for the assumption, that rivalry inevitably damages relationships, Schapiro et al (2009) questions the connection between competitiveness and its harm to friendship. In a Canadian study of 7 th and 8 th graders, competitiveness among 76 pairs of a gifted and non-gifted friends has been examined, and the results showed that while the aims of learning were different in the 2 groups, the gifted had learning goals and the non-gifted -achieving goals, competiveness did not have any influence on the friendship of these dyads of friends.…”

“…Studies examining friendship qualities amongst high ability and gifted learners have yielded mixed results. For example, some have found high ability students report lower degrees of friendship intimacy (Mayseless, 1993) and fewer positive friendship qualities (i.e., companionship, help, security, closeness;Schapiro, Schneider, Shore, Margison, & Udvari, 2009) with a best friend than average ability peers. Yet other researchers have found gifted students viewed their friendships as more close and intimate than non-gifted peers (Field et al, 1998) and were more likely to report more positive friendship qualities (Masden, Leung, Shore, Schneider, and Udvari, 2015).…”
