Abstract | Academic competitions have long been an aspect of programming for the gifted. These competitions can facilitate a learning environment that presents gifted students the academic challenge that often is difficult to create in a single classroom or school. They can offer the types of experiences that foster the development of productive attitudes and work habits. They also can nurture emotional and psychological growth. Some of these benefits can be defined within the framework of differentiation. However, academic competitions also hold potential for a number of affective benefits that cannot be subsumed under differentiation. In this article, drawing upon their experience and related research, the authors elaborate on these affective outcomes: (1) motivation; (2) a healthy self-concept; (3) coping with subjectivity; (4) dealing with a competitive world; and (5) interacting with supportive role models.
