ABSTRACT:
The study aimed to seek clarification given the general lack of public knowledge about the specificities that make up the phenomenon of giftedness, particularly with regard to its emotional characteristics. The myths surrounding it distort society’s understanding of this population, leading to discrimination as well as the worsening of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Our objective was to understand how families perceive the supersensitivity and emotional intensity of children with high abilities or giftedness, and the possible effects of this perception on their social daily life. The methodology involved selecting academic articles that supported our study, as well as collecting summary data from the CAPES database. After identifying and comparing emotional characteristics, a questionnaire was made available to family members through Google Forms and shared via WhatsApp, using a quantitative–qualitative approach. Data collection included 114 family members who lived in the same household and shared the child’s daily routine. We highlight that families significantly recognize characteristics such as sensory and emotional intensity and overexcitability, identifying them as highly relevant and socially impactful, resulting in perceptions of isolation, discrimination, frustration, and vulnerability.
