Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the degree of prevalence of social responsibility patterns among gifted students in schools in Cairo during the second semester of the academic year 2019/2020. The study sample consisted of 196 male and female students from grades eight and ten, all of whom achieved an average of 90% or higher. The sample included 102 female students and 94 male students. The researchers developed and applied a social responsibility scale encompassing three patterns: self, family, and social, after verifying its validity and reliability. The results indicated that the prevalence of social responsibility patterns among gifted students was high, with the family responsibility pattern ranked first (with a high degree), followed by the social responsibility pattern (also with a high degree), and finally the self-responsibility pattern (with a high degree as well). The overall average of the social responsibility scale was also at a high level. Additionally, the results showed that the differences in responses among the study sample regarding the grade variable were not statistically significant for both family and self-responsibility patterns. However, there were statistically significant differences in the social responsibility pattern, favoring the tenth-grade group. The results also indicated that the differences in responses related to the gender variable were not statistically significant for the family responsibility pattern, while statistically significant differences were found in the social responsibility and self-responsibility patterns, favoring the male category. Considering the findings of the study, the researchers recommended adopting various initiatives for gifted students directed at community work to enhance social responsibility.
