5.5.5 Diversity of Characteristics of Gifted Anxiety Among Arabic-Islamic Culture

The study aims at identifying the characteristics of anxiety in gifted children in four different Arab countries: Tunisia, KSA, Lebanon and Oman. All gifted participants from the four different countries share the same Islamic-Arab culture and differ in terms of age, gender and grade level, with the country of residence as the independent variable. The One-Way Anova analysis revealed that there are differences in the anxiety level between gifted children that live in countries geographically close to one another (KSA-Oman) while those that are on different continents (Tunisia-Lebanon) but share a common history have similar experiences.
