Collection description
|
|
This collection (1986-1995)
contains eight publications, focusing on Subotnik’s longitudinal
research on 1983 winners of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search

include findings on their behavior, motivation, attraction to
science, their tendency to remain in science, and the ability to
identify problems in academic research.
The titles
include, “The Motivation to Experiment: A Study of Gifted
Adolescents’ Attitudes toward Scientific Research” (1988); Retention
and attrition of science talent: a longitudinal study of
Westinghouse Science Talent Search winners” (1993); and “Passing
