Bienestar Subjetivo en Altas Capacidades/Dotados: Una Revisión del Alcance

Abstract:

The area of giftedness is complex, involving various theories and approaches, often hindered by myths that affect identification and support processes. Gifted individuals face unique cognitive and emotional challenges. This scoping review sought to examine the quality of life and subjective well-being of gifted individuals. Empirical articles on the self-perception of gifted people regarding their quality of life and subjective well-being, published between 2012 and 2021, were included. Fourteen articles were selected, totaling a sample of 5,256 giftedness, predominantly adolescents. Most studies were conducted in the United States and focused on the participants’ subjective well-being. The results highlighted the importance of distinguishing the methods for identifying giftedness, emphasizing that advanced programs can positively impact subjective well-being by meeting the specific educational needs of these individuals.
