Begin by understanding the context of the term 'gifted people' in psychology, which often refers to individuals with exceptional intellectual abilities.
Recognize that Lewis Terman was a psychologist who conducted a longitudinal study on gifted children, known as the 'Terman Study of the Gifted.'
Consider the common misconceptions about gifted individuals, such as the belief that they are socially maladjusted or have physical differences.
Reflect on Terman's findings, which suggested that gifted individuals are generally well-adjusted and may have better mental health compared to those with average intelligence.
Conclude that Terman's research indicated that gifted people are more resistant to mental illnesses than those of average intelligence, challenging stereotypes about giftedness.
