Investigation of the Relationship between the Perfectionism and SelfEfficacy of Gifted Children

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the perfectionism and selfefficacy of gifted children. In this study, Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale and Self-Efficacy Scale for Children will be used as data collection tools. The research was carried out by scanning design, one of the quantitative research methods. While selecting the sample of the study, criterion sampling, which is the purposeful sampling type, was used. In the study, the sampling criteria of the students were considered as SAC (Science and Art Centers) students, who were diagnosed as being gifted.Participation in the study is entirely voluntary. The study group of the research consists of 507 students (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades) studying in SAC various provinces of Turkey. The obtained data were analyzed with the descriptive and complementary statistical method. While there is no significant difference in the child and adolescent perfectionism levels of gifted students according to gender and the independent variables of the period they studied at SAC, there is a significant difference according to the independent variables of school type, grade levels, number of siblings and ranking among siblings. While there is no significant differentiation in the self-efficacy levels of gifted students according to gender, school type and number of siblings' independent variables, there is a significant difference in class levels, periods of study in SAC, and ranking independent variables between siblings. It was concluded that there was no significant and positive relationship between the answers given by gifted students to the Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale and the answers they gave to the Children's Self-Efficacy Scale.

Examination of Perfectionism in Children And Adolescent Students According to Various Variables

“…As a result of many studies, it has been determined that the perfectionism levels of individuals do not change according to the number of siblings they have (Akkaya, Doğan & Tosik, 2021;Asan, 2011;Bozdemir, 2011;Fizel, 2008;Çelik, Ekşi & Gülsu, 2017;Köroğlu, 2008). According to the results of the research, it has been determined that birth order is not effective in the self-directed perfectionism and social-based perfectionism levels of gifted students.…”

“…Araştırma sonuçlarına göre kardeş sayının özel yetenekli öğrencilerin kendine yönelik mükemmeliyetçilik ile sosyal kaynaklı mükemmeliyetçilik düzeyleri üzerinde etkili bir değişken olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Yapılan bir çok araştırma sonucunda bireylerin mükemmeliyetçilik düzeylerinin sahip olunan kardeş sayısına göre değişmediği belirlenmiştir (Akkaya, Doğan & Tosik, 2021;Asan, 2011;Bozdemir, 2011;Fizel, 2008;Çelik, Ekşi & Gülsu, 2017;Köroğlu, 2008). Bazı araştırmalarda ise kardeş sayısının artmasının mükemmeliyetçiliği olumlu yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir (Asan, 2011;Benk, 2006;Şahin, 2011).…”

Influencia del Perfeccionismo Académico en el Aprendizaje Autorregulado de los Estudiantes Universitarios

“…Distanciándose igualmente de la tendencia informada, en la investigación realizada por Saraç (2017), con estudiantes de educación musical de Turquía, la autoeficacia quedó significativa y positivamente explicada por todas las dimensiones del perfeccionismo, tal como es conceptualizado por Frost et al (1990). Por último, también en Turquía, pero con niños superdotados, Akkaya et al (2021) no encontraron relación entre autoeficacia y perfeccionismo.…”
