Abstract
As highly gifted adolescents both maintain their personal development salubriously while coping with the differences caused by being highly gifted and adapt to quick changes in every field of teenage life, they are thought to be a group that has to be specially emphasized. This study aims to analyze the subjective well-being in terms of giftedness, gender and age. The participants of the study consisted of 80 students studying in the 5-6-7-8th grades of secondary schools in Ankara. 32 of the students were diagnosed as gifted while 48 of them were in the regular group. Data was collected using a personal detail form and Adolescent Subjective Well Being Scale. The research is a descriptive study in a survey model. The data was analyzed by using Pearson Correlation Coefficient, t-test and ANOVA. It has been found that the points of subjective wellbeing of the normal group and gifted children group (supported and unsupported) have differentiated. Both of the gifted groups have considerably high levels of subjective well-being comparing with the normal group.
