Description The investigation of the gifted childrens self-concept is one part of the wider research focused on the sociability and emotionality of the gifted in the Czech Republic. The research was carried out in the sample of children at the age of 7-10. We used Raven`s Coloured Progressive Matrices to screen the intelligence of children in the classrooms. 37 gifted children (IQ 130) and 6 twice exceptional children were compared with 59 non-gifted children (IQ 129) on five domains of the self-concept and the global self-worth (we used Harters Self-perception profile for children). We found out that gifted children have better self-concept in the domain of school competence. In the other domains there are no significant differences between gifted and non-gifted children. Twice exceptional children have worse self-concept in the domain of social acceptance than gifted children. Gifted girls described themselves as having a more positive self-concept in the domains of social acceptance, behavioral conduct and physical appearance than did gifted boys. Non-gifted girls have better self-concept only in the domain of behavioral conduct than have non-gifted boys.
