Abstract

High abilities, multidimensionally configured, beyond a high IQ, are the result of both an early maturational and psychosocial developmental process. Therefore, a field of study of special interest is social cognition, a field that encompasses the mental processes that perceive, capture and interpret social information from the environment. The present study seeks to determine the differences between highly able students and their normatively intelligent peers. With this in mind, a purposive sample of 146 Secondary School students was obtained. A cross-sectional design with survey methodology was used. The results support the hypotheses put forward. However, the relevance of these differential aspects between high ability students and their peers is discussed.
