Abstract

The present study examined differences between students gifted in science and general students in creativity, environment, and academic self-efficacy. Subjects were eighth graders, 66 students gifted in science and 105 general students. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Stepwise multiple regression. Results indicated that the students gifted in science were higher in creative thinking, creative personality, academic self-efficacy, and home environment than the general students. Self-regulatory efficacy was the most critical predictor of creativity.
