“…Στην περίπτωση των χαρισματικών μαθητών είναι μία απόφαση κρίσιμη, καθώς αποδεικνύει τη φιλοσοφία τους για τη ζωή. H κοινωνική τάξη, η νοημοσύνη και το φύλο είναι καθοριστικοί παράγοντες για την αυτοαντίληψη των μαθητών και την επιλογή της καριέρας τους (Breik & Zaza, 2019. Perrone, 1997.…”

Οι χαρισματικοί μαθητές αποτελούν μία ομάδα του μαθητικού πληθυσμού, η οποία έχει απασχολήσει αρκετά την επιστημονική κοινότητα τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Οι ιδιαίτερες δυνατότητες αλλά και δυσκολίες που μπορεί να αντιμετωπίζουν οι μαθητές αυτής της κατηγορίας στο σχολικό και κοινωνικό τους περιβάλλον είναι πολλαπλές με αποτέλεσμα να χρειάζονται συμβουλευτική υποστήριξη για να μπορέσουν να διαχειριστούν τη διαφορετικότητα που τους διακρίνει. Η συμβουλευτική μπορεί να αφορά τόσο σε προσωπικές δυσκολίες όσο και σε ζητήματα επαγγελματικής ανάπτυξης και αποφάσεων. Σε αυτά τα ζητήματα είναι χρήσιμη η υποστήριξη των χαρισματικών μαθητών μέσω ενός προγράμματος επαγγελματικού προσανατολισμού, το οποίο θα προσαρμόζεται στο προφίλ και τις ανάγκες τους. Στόχος των διαδικασιών αυτών είναι η αυτογνωσία του μαθητή. Στην ειδική αγωγή –και ειδικότερα στην περίπτωση των χαρισματικών παιδιών– ο επαγγελματικός προσανατολισμός καλείται να λάβει επιπλέον υπόψη τις ιδιαιτερότητες και ιδιαίτερες ανάγκες των ατόμων, τα δικαιώματα που πηγάζουν από τις ανάγκες αυτές αλλά και τη στάση της κοινωνίας απέναντί τους.

“…Coping refers to the process of managing the relationship between a person and the environment that is appraised as taxing (4). Research has found significant gender differences in coping (27)(28)(29)(30)(31). Women use more emotion-focused coping and social support seeking while men use more problem-focused coping (32,33).…”

ObjectivesPrevious research has documented significant associations between the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, various mental health problems, and coping strategies. However, literature on the moderating role of gender on the relationship between distress and coping strategies during COVID-19 is almost nonexistent. Hence, the main objective of this study was two folds. To examine gender differences in distress and coping strategies, and to test the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between distress and coping among university faculty members and students during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodA cross-sectional web-based study design was used to collect data from the participants. A sample of 649 participants (68.9% university students and 31.1% faculty members) was selected. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) were used to collect data from the participants. The survey was sent out during the COVID-19 lockdown from May 12th to June 30th, 2020.ResultsThe results showed significant gender differences in distress and the three coping strategies. Women consistently scored higher on distress (p < 0.01), task-focused (p < 0.05), emotion-focused (p < 0.001), and avoidance coping (p < 0.01) compared to men. Gender moderated the relationship between emotion-focused coping and distress (p < 0.001) but not the relationship between distress and task-focused or avoidance coping.ConclusionIncreased emotion-focused coping is associated with decreased distress among women while the use of emotion-focused coping by men predicted more distress. Workshops and programs focused on providing skills and techniques on how to cope with stressful situations induced by the COVID-19 pandemic are recommended.

“…Other factors such as birth order and family size determine the time and opportunity each child receives within a family. Thus, it is not surprising that a great deal of research has examined the effect of birth order on different variables including coping strategies (Breik & Zaza, 2019), personality (Barton, 2005), sibling relationships (Ben-Artzey Schieber, 2019), and perfectionism (Sondergeld et al 2007). However, the effect of birth order and family size on intelligence and achievement has received the lion's share of researchers' attention (e.g., Albert, 1980a;Breland, 1972;Cox, 1977;Rodgers et al 2000;Sulloway, 1966;VanTassel-Baska, 1983).…”

Birth order, family size, and other familial structural characteristics are important variables to consider to understand the transformation from gifts to talents. The current study explored the influence of birth order and family size on academic achievement, divergent thinking (DT), and problem finding (PF) with a sample of 156 gifted male and female Arab students (M= 12.21 years, SD= 1.75). Regarding academic achievement, we hypothesized that first-borns will be overrepresented in our sample, which was true; i.e., nearly half the gifted students in this study were first-borns. Comparing ordinal position in academic achievement, first-borns possessed higher grade point averages (GPAs) than did other-born children. Family size was also related to academic achievement—participants from smaller-sized families had significantly higher GPAs compared with gifted students from middle- and large-sized families. As for the influence of birth order and family size on both DT and PF, our findings were partly supported. A multivariate analysis of variance showed significant differences for birth order and the interaction between birth order and family size in the originality dimension of PF. Non-significant differences were found concerning family size. The follow-up analyses of variance showed that later-born gifted students scored higher than first-, second-, third-, and fourth-born children in PF originality. Later-born gifted students who scored higher on originality were from smaller families. No significant influences for birth order and family size were found concerning fluency for both DT and PF as well as DT originality. This was the first study to examine the effect of family size and birth order on PF, and there is a need for future research to elucidate the influence of familial structural characteristics on PF.
