Peer Acceptance and Self Concept of Black Students in a Summer Gifted Program.

Cooley, Michele R.; And Others

Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v14 n2 p166-77 Win 1991

Thirty-five high ability Black students (ages 9-15) attending a predominantly White university summer enrichment program were compared to 35 White peers. Results suggest that, despite differences in achievement and social status, Black students were accepted by White peers and were comparable in self-concept and academic self-esteem. (Author/JDD)
