“…On one hand, a number of studies argue that gifted children tend to have higher estimates of psychological well-being than children who fall within the normal range of ability. These results were confirmed for American, Turkish and Russian samples (Boazman, Sayler 2011;Nail, Evans 1997;Tatli 2017;Rodenko 2010), as well as by the metanalytical study by Timothy Jones (Jones 2013). However, other studies revealed a lower psychological well-being score in gifted children (Fouladchanga, Kohgard, Salah 2010;Vedikova, Kalyagina 2018).…”

The results were confirmed for American, Turkish and Russian samples [7,8,9,10], as well as by metaanalitic studies [11]. On the other hand, other studies revealed a decline in psychological wellbeing of gifted children [12,13].…”

Current article presents the study of psychological wellbeing of adolescents (n=168, age 15-17) gifted in math, humanities and sports and educated in advanced programs for gifted children. Theoretical framework of this study is eudemonic concept of psychological wellbeing by C. Ryff. Psychological wellbeing is measured with Ryff wellbeing scales in Russian adaptation by L.V. Zhukovskaya and E.G. Troshikhina. The study is aimed at understanding differences in psychological wellbeing of gifted teenagers connected to gender and type of giftedness. The results suggest that general wellbeing score did not differ for adolescents with different types of giftedness or of different genders. Separate components of psychological wellbeing, such as purpose in life and self-acceptance, are influenced by activity connected to the talent. Gender differences are subjected to age-specific trends of personal development in adolescence. Type of giftedness might reinforce these trends.

Introduction. Psychological well-being is the most important resource and condition for the development of human potential, which determines the relevance of studying the psychological well-being of gifted children and adolescents, including cross-cultural analysis of this phenomenon. The article presents the comparative analysis of the psychological well-being of Chinese and Russian adolescents who study at specialized educational programs for academically gifted school students.Materials and Methods. The sample consisted of 177 15-years-old adolescents (45.8% female) from China and Russia (62 adolescents enrolled in specialized educational programs for academically gifted schoolchildren, and 115 adolescents enrolled in general education programs). The empirical data were collected with the use of K. Riff Scale of Psychological Well-being (adopted in Russian and Chinese) and a questionnaire for assessing the adolescents’ attitude to their giftedness (only for samples of gifted adolescents).Results. The profiles of psychological well-being of Chinese and Russian academically gifted adolescents have no statistically significant differences, but there is significant differences between the profiles of the comparison groups in the parameters "personal growth" (F=3.16) and "self-acceptance" (F=3.21), higher indicators for both parameters were found in the Russian comparison group. At the same time, Chinese academically gifted adolescents outperform their peers from the comparison group in the parameters "goals in life", "personal growth", "autonomy", "positive relationships" and in the total indicator of psychological well-being (4.27≤F≤9.19), academically gifted adolescents from Russia – only in the parameter "autonomy" (F=4.28). In the sample of Russian academically gifted adolescents, the attitude to their giftedness is not related to psychological well-being, in the sample of gifted adolescents from China it is related to the total indicator of well-being, as well as components of personal growth and self-acceptance (0.40≤r≤0.44).Discussion and Conclusions. The results are discussed in the context of the analysis of culturally determined differences in the social situation of personality development for Chinese and Russian adolescent.
