Self-actualization of youth in a summer camp

Psychol Rep. 2000 Dec;87(3 Pt 1):729-30. doi: 10.2466/pr0.2000.87.3.729.

Abstract

The self-actualization scores of 57 youths who attended a summer day camp for gifted students were assessed using the Reflections Of Self by Youth (ROSY). Significant sex differences were confirmed. Contrary to Lewis's significant difference (1996) in mean self-actualization between Grades 7 and 8, self-actualization scores in this study were uncorrelated with grade.
