“…Teachers can deem behaviours such as fidgeting in class, being distracted or bored as negative and disruptive behaviour. A review of 11 dissertation studies on this trait (Chang & Kuo, 2013) supports this theory. Chang and Kuo (2013) examined the overexcitability ratings made by teachers of gifted 3 rd to 12th grade students.…”

RésuméCette recherche porte sur la problématique du développement psychosocial des enfants doués. Bien qu'il existe des travaux qui indiquent que les enfants doués souffrent plus souvent de problèmes d'adaptation que les autres, comme l'isolement social, la dépression, l'anxiété et une faible estime de soi, la littérature de recherche considère peu l'environnement familial des enfants doués comme étant un facteur qui puisse contribuer au niveau d'adaptation de l'enfant.La présente recherche a eu donc pour objectif de déterminer si les styles parentaux, tels que définis par Baumrind, sont associés à l'adaptation des enfants doués. Les styles parentaux des Mots clés: adaptation, effets, concept de soi, enfant, douance, enfants doués, style parental iii AbstractThe present study examines the psychosocial development of gifted children. Although much evidence exists that gifted children experience problems of adjustment, such as social isolation, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, few studies have investigated the family environment of gifted children and its possible links to child psychosocial adjustment. The goal of this study, therefore, was to address these questions by examining the parenting styles, as defined by Baumrind, of parents of gifted children and their potential associations with the adjustment levels of their children. Parenting styles were measured using a self-report questionnaire. The level of adjustment for gifted children, aged 7 to 11 years old, was measured using behavioural and self-concept measures. Giftedness was determined using a standardized intelligence test. Forty-eight gifted children and 52 nongifted children participated in the study.Parents of gifted children reported using a predominantly authoritative parenting style. Mothers, however, reported significantly higher authoritative scores than fathers. Parents reported several gifted children to experience problems with peers, but their teachers did not report this nor did the children themselves. No associations were found between a particular parenting style and the reported presence of peer social problems in gifted children. Mothers' authoritarian parenting style was significantly associated with lower conduct problem levels, and higher intellectual selfconcept levels in gifted children. As for mothers' authoritative parenting style, a significant relationship was found with higher conduct problem levels in gifted children. Mothers' permissive parenting style was found to be associated with lower self-concept levels in gifted children. As for the fathers, authoritarian and permissive parenting styles were found to be linked to lower adjustment and self-concept levels in gifted children. Adjustment levels and parenting styles were also compared between gifted and nongifted children. For both groups of children, iv adjustment levels were in the normal range and the parents reported similar use of the three parenting styles. As for the relationships between parenting styles and adjustment in nongifted children, fathers' a...

“…OE can be situated at the crossroads between intelligence, personality, creativity, and emotions. Indeed, in Dabrowski's theory, OE is necessary to access a high level of developmental potential, but OE also leads to negative disintegration as, for example, Emotional OE, which was associated with better psychological and social maladjustment (Chang & Kuo, 2013). As such, this should retain the attention of many researchers interested in individual differences.…”

Overexcitability corresponds to an overall response to stimulations in 5 domains: psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, and emotional. The aim of this study was to develop a French version of the Overexcitability Questionnaire 2 (OEQ2) and to expand its psychometric properties. Two studies were conducted: one with a sample of 474 adolescents and another with a sample of 436 adults. Internal consistency, factorial structure, and validity (correlations with intelligence, personality, and alexithymia) were examined. The French OEQ2 showed satisfactory psychometric properties, thus advocating for its use in further research on overexcitability and in clinical practice.
