Gender Differences in Science-Gifted and General Students : Creative Thinking, Personality, Environment, and Performance in Science

The present study examined gender differences between science-gifted students and general students in creative thinking, personality, environment and performance in science. Subjects were 171 eighth grade students, 66 gifted in science and 105 general students. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Stepwise Multiple Regression. Sex differences between the science-gifted and general students were found only in several subcategories of the dependent variables. The most critical predictors of creative performance in science were the title abstraction factor in gifted boys and general girls, and the resistance of enclosing factor in general boys.
