The aim of the present study is to determine the relationship between selfperceptions
and social behaviors of gifted primary school children. The target
population of the study consists of 874 third and fourth grade students who are
from a district on the European side of Istanbul. These students are labeled as
gifted according to the Primary Mental Abilities Test (7-11). 368 students (211
girls and 157 boys) participated in the research conducted in 16 primary schools.
The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale was used in the study to determine
the self-perception levels while the School Social Behavior Scales (SSBS) was used
to assess the social behaviors of the gifted children. According to the findings of
the study, it was found that the self-perceptions of gifted children predicted the
social competence and antisocial behaviors (p <.01). It was seen that as the
children’s self-perception levels increased, their social competence increased (r =
.186) and antisocial behaviors decreased (r = .160).
