Evidence¶

White 2018¶

White, Sonia, Graham, Linda, & Blaas, Sabrina (2018). Why do we know so little about the factors associated with gifted underachievement? A systematic literature review. Educational Research Review, 24, pp. 55-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2018.03.001

q3 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis of emotion findings (§4.3.2). Underachievers scored significantly higher on academic anxiety items (Obergriesser & Stoeger, 2015) and were less emotionally engaged (Ritchotte et al., 2014), while Schick and Phillipson (2009) reported no significant difference in emotional control between groups.

"The three articles that investigated emotional factors associated with gifted underachievement were less consistent in their findings, which appear dependent on the specific aspect of emotion that is being investigated."
