The Roles of Self-Compassion and Self-Coldness in the Relationships Between Inferiority and Stress and Anxiety Among Gifted Adolescents

ConclusionsThe findings not only emphasize that feeling inferior is associated with poorer mental health in gifted adolescents, but they also show that how gifted adolescents react to their feelings of inferiority, whether with self-compassion or self-coldness, plays an important role in the relationship between inferiority and mental health. By distinguishing between self-coldness and self-compassion, the results of this study can assist parents, researchers, and practitioners in improving their approach to addressing mental health issues among gifted adolescents.PreregistrationThis study is not preregistered.
