Abstract

This study aims to explore the level of high sensitivity in response to criticism among gifted students in Ajloun Governorate, considering some variables such as gender, class, family educational level, and family economic level. To achieve its objectives, the researchers used a descriptive and analytical approach and utilized the high sensitivity scale developed by Alateaq in 2010, adapted to fit the Jordanian environment. The sample included 131 gifted students randomly selected from junior high to high school. The results showed that the level of high sensitivity was moderate. There were no statistically significant differences in the level of high sensitivity in response to criticism among the students in terms of gender and class variables. Furthermore, there were no differences based on the family educational and economic levels of the parents, except for some responses from students whose families had an income of 500 JOD or more. The study recommends implementing programs to address and provide the necessary consultation to help overcome the high sensitivity of these students.
