“…Some researches demonstrate with their studies that the ones having low anxiety level have higher verbal creative thinking scores (Fleischer & Cohen, 1965;Grimm & Nachmias, 1977;White, 1968). Nevertheless, some other researchers do not back up these studies (Feldhusen, Denny, & Condon, 1965;Strauss,et al, 1981). Therefore, this study seems to be a significant research to shed light on this dark side of the gifted students.…”

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.

“…Negative affectivity (NA) relates negatively to measures of flexibility (Baas et al, ; Mikulincer et al, ) but positively to systematic and constrained information processing (e.g., Ambady & Gray, ; Schwarz & Clore, ). Activating negative moods also seem to engender a perceptual focus on local details as opposed to holistic forms (Derryberry & Tucker, ; Fredrickson & Branigan, ) and persistence in cognitive activities (e.g., Derryberry & Reed, ; Strauss et al, ). For example, De Dreu et al (; Study 3) induced, through self‐generated imagery, negative activating moods (fearful and anxious) and negative de‐activating moods (depressed and sad) and measured participants' creative insight performance.…”

To better understand the relation between personality traits and creativity, we invoke the Dual-Pathway to Creativity model (DPCM) that identifies two pathways to creative outcomes: (1) flexible processing of information (cognitive flexibility) and (2) persistent probing, and systematically and incrementally combining elements and possibilities (cognitive persistence). DPCM further proposes that dispositional or situational variables may influence creativity through either their effects on flexibility or persistence. Here, we propose the idea that approach-related traits (e.g., openness to experience, extraversion, positive affectivity, and power-motivation) may lead to greater creativity because they link to enhanced cognitive flexibility, whereas avoidance-related traits (e.g., negative affectivity and neuroticism) under the right circumstances may lead to greater creativity because they link to enhanced cognitive persistence. Empirical support for this proposition is discussed, and a research agenda for future work on personality and creativity is set.

“…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).…”

Language anxiety has significantly sparked great concern in the second and foreign language learning world. Researches have found negative correlation between language anxiety and academic achievement of English language learners; and, most of the studies focus on average school students and tertiary level students. This paper, however, explores gifted learners' English language anxiety in ESL setting, by surveying 119 gifted learners of PERMATApintar National Gifted Center (PpNGC), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia. The result shows that gifted learners have certain level of language anxiety in English language setting; that language anxiety negatively correlates withgifted learnes' English language performance; and that female gifted learners indicate higher language anxiety than males. Finally, this paper provides some insights towards minimizing gifted learners' language anxiety in English language environment.
