Research into the psychosocial experiences of gifted adolescents indicates that they believe others see them as “different,” and this perception may interfere with social interaction. Some authors have described the experience of being identified as gifted in school as socially stigmatizing. The few studies that have investigated how gifted adolescents cope with this stigma suggest that they use a variety of methods to control the information others have about them. The Social Coping Questionnaire (SCQ) was designed to measure such strategies. The current study presents an expansion of the SCQ and supports previous findings indicating that the social coping strategies used by gifted adolescents are identifiable and measurable. Factor analysis of the revised SCQ produced five social coping factors: denial of giftedness, emphasis on popularity, peer acceptance, social interaction, and hiding giftedness. Gender differences suggest that females are more likely than males to deny their abilities and report high levels of interpersonal activity.

Currently, one of the urgent problems of the education system is the search for effective methods of pedagogical support for the social development of intellectually gifted children and adolescents. The article contains the results of theoretical analysis and empirical research aimed at identifying the characteristics and level of formation of the culture of social interaction in intellectually gifted adolescents, considered as the main result of their social education in the educational environment of the school. The author reveals the essence of the culture of social interaction as a pedagogical phenomenon, develops diagnostic tools for its study and determines the level of its formation in 196 adolescents with outstanding mental abilities studying in grades 7-9 of secondary schools.

The Parkland school shooting that occurred on February 14, 2018, ranks among the deadliest high school shootings in recorded history with 17 injuries and 17 casualties. Like other mass school shootings, this event garnered extensive media coverage, but little research has been conducted to examine how media framing for this event compares with previous school shootings. This study examines the framing of the Parkland school shooting by location over time using the Social Coping Model, which describes how collectives cope with and heal from traumatic events. Specifically, this study compares frames of front-page news articles from three local news outlets and three national outlets across three time periods in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. The results indicate the coverage of the Parkland shooting was similar to previous shootings, but the results also suggest a shift in media coverage. The implications for this shift are explored in the context of a changing media landscape while also noting the importance of the Social Coping Model towards understanding the dynamic process of framing school shootings.

Psychological resilience is comprised of an adaptive functioning standard before the current and accumulated risks of life. Furthermore, it has a comprehensive range of psychological resources which are essential to overcome adversities, such as personal competences, self-beliefs and interpersonal control which interact with the social networks support. The objectives are to show the concepts of psychological resilience in elderly, relative to dominant theoretical models and the main data about psychological resilience in aging, found in an international and Brazilian review from 2007 to 2013. The descriptors "resilience, psychological resilience and aging", "resiliência e envelhecimento, velhice e velho", were used in PubMed, PsychInfo, SciELO and Pepsic databases. Fifty three international and eleven national articles were selected. The international articles were classified in four categories: psychological and social coping resources, emotional regulation before stressing experiences, successful resilience and aging and correlates, and resilience measures. The Brazilian articles were grouped in three: psychological and social resources, resilience in carers and theory review. Articles on psychological resources and on emotional regulation prevailed as key factors associated with psychological resilience in aging.

Gifted Adolescents

Research has indicated that gifted adolescents use a variety of measurable social coping strategies to mitigate perceived negative social effects of being identified as gifted in school. The precocious development of gifted children suggests that similar strategies also might be used by gifted elementary school students. Two studies of gifted 3rd through 7th graders who enrolled in a summer academic program explored the possibility that social coping strategies can be adequately measured among gifted elementary students. Study 1 provided a good replication of results from studies of gifted adolescents, and Study 2 replicated Study 1. Six social coping strategies, very similar to those identified in studies of gifted adolescents, were identified: denying giftedness, minimizing focus on popularity, social interaction, humor, conformity, and denying an impact of giftedness on peer acceptance. The last two scales were unreliable with young students, however. No consistent gender differences in social coping were found, but comparisons by grade level indicated that older students are more focused on popularity than are younger students.
