3.3.6 Examining the Relationship Between Overexcitabilities and Protective Factors of High-Achieving Adolescents

The purpose of this research was to examine whether overexcitabilites can predict protective factors in a sample of 180 high-achieving adolescents. A related purpose was to examine gender differences. The students responded to the Overexcitabilities Questionnaire-II (OEQ-II). Classroom teachers rated students on protective factors using the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-II (BERS-2). The hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that students’ emotional overexcitabilities were a significant predictor of their protective factors. Also, males’ protective factors scores were significantly higher than females, while females’ sensual and emotional overexctiabilities were significantly higher than males’.
