Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to compare the emotional intelligence levels of gifted students with their creativity and problem-solving skills based on various variables. The research was conducted using the relational survey model, a quantitative research method. The study involved 169 high school students aged 13-17, including 102 girls and 67 boys, who were identified as gifted and enrolled at the Science and Art Center in Kayseri during the 2023-2024 academic year. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Emotional Intelligence Trait Scale-Adolescent Short Form, Perception Scale for Problem-Solving Skills for Gifted High School Students, and Individual Creativity Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 software. The results indicated a significant relationship between students' emotional intelligence levels and their creativity and problem-solving skills. However, no significant differences were found in emotional intelligence, creativity, or problem-solving skills based on variables such as gender, grade level, or family income status (p>0.05).
