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 perceptions-of-school findings (§4.3.3), mostly using SAAS-R scales. The review reports underachievers scored significantly lower on attitudes towards school and teachers (Abu-Hamour & Al-Hmouz, 2013) and lower on environmental perceptions (Ritchotte et al., 2014), but "Figg et al. (2012) found no significant differences between groups on the same measures."
"According to Abu-Hamour and Al-Hmouz (2013), gifted underachievers scored significantly lower than gifted achievers on both attitudes towards school and attitudes towards teachers."
