出版社：International Research Association for Talent Development and Excellence (IRATDE)
摘要：Purpose of the study was to evaluate the possibility for scientifically talented students to grow up to be leaders by examining the predictive relationships among personal and environmental characteristics on their leadership development based on the Munich Dynamic Ability Achievement Model (MDAAM). 1261 students including 633 scientifically talented future Olympians and 628 general education students in grades 4 to 12 and 25 Olympians were surveyed on giftedness, intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, confidence in intelligence, incremental belief about intelligence, family processes, and leadership. It was found that family process has the greatest direct effect, followed by intrinsic motivation, followed by confidence in one’s own intelligence. Among various sub factors of family processes, pressure for literacy was the greatest predictor for younger scientifically talented students, whereas family cohesion was the best predictor for older scientifically talented students. The validity of the MDAAM has been confirmed again with respect to the developmental aim of this study.
