Psychological factors in developing the creative potential of gifted students

This article provides a theoretical analysis of the psychological factors influencing the development of gifted students' creative potential. It examines individual psychological characteristics of giftedness, creative thinking, independent decision-making, intrinsic motivation, emotional stability, and intellectual engagement as essential components of creative development. Particular attention is given to the role of family environment, pedagogical support, social relationships, and personal interests in identifying and enhancing students' creative abilities. The article emphasizes the importance of considering gifted students' individual needs and psychological characteristics when designing targeted approaches to fostering their creative potential. It also highlights the significance of creating supportive educational conditions that encourage originality, independent thinking, intellectual curiosity, and the realization of individual creative abilities. Selected theories and research syntheses are compared through a focused narrative review rather than an empirical assessment. The proposed framework is intended to guide future educational assessment and requires contextual adaptation; no participants were recruited and no intervention effects were measured.
