Abstract: The focus of the study was the involvement of parents in the schooling of gifted and non-gifted children. Parental involvement was translated into the following three measured variables: concern, action, and reward. A Parent Involvement Questionnaire (PIQ) was administered to 172 parents of gifted children and 74 parents of non-gifted children. No differences were found between the two groups for concern or reward. However, parents of gifted children scored higher in action than parents of non-gifted. No significant interactions were found when demographic variables were added. Multiple regression revealed that some demographic variables acted differently for each group. The study concluded that parents of gifted children are highly active in fostering their children’s schooling.
