Research Questions and TheoriesRESEARCH QUESTION AND THEORY
Theoretical or Conceptual Frameworks serve as a lens to explain why things happen when you examine a specific area of interest. The Research Question highlights the focus of the inquiry. Using the articles, you have selected above, establish a question and identify the primary theory which applies. Describe the theory and apply to the criteria or variables relevant to the problem.

According to the "stigma of giftedness" theory, stereotyping makes the gifted students to either fail to fully use their potential and keep away from identifying with the stigma or to over-identify with the label through the adoption of the stereotypical features. The gifted children are affected by stereotyping or the labeling act which tends to be a problem for them since they are shaping their individual perception. Labeling is also affecting the behaviors as well as the perceptions of the gifted students (Shoenberger & Alex, 2015).

Gifted children are also lacking emotional support from the stakeholders of education i.e. the parents and the families. According to the attachment theory, kids who are enjoying a safe attachment connection with caregivers find it easier to explore their environment. These children are able to reach out to others and return to the caregivers for support and go further to exploit their social relationship. Smith (2015) in his study on the “the social and emotional lives of gifted kids” stated that emotional and the social support from the teachers, parents, and other relevant stakeholders is important towards the development of the gifted children in their education. Social and the emotional support involve enjoying the attachment relationship from the parents as well as those who are close to the children. Through exploring their social world through the support of the caregivers, they are more likely to learn from their experience in the social interaction and be motivated towards their classroom education (Smith, 2015).

The environmental aspects are involving the social as well as the economic factors which are important towards positively impacting on the education of the gifted children. The psychosocial development theory which was put forward by Erikson is highlighting the necessity of satisfying the social-emotional needs of the talented individuals. According to this theory, individuals have to develop by passing through the eight developmental stages from the infancy to adulthood. It is, therefore, necessary to provide the nurturing environment which is serving the social and the emotional needs of the gifted children to help them in the developing socially as well as establishing their social identity. Therefore, in the rural areas, there are numerous resources which are required for the learning process of these children and due to lack of these resources; they tend to perceive themselves and their environment is different from others thus affecting their socio-emotional development (Kolb, 2014).

Based on Piaget's theory of development, it is important to accommodate all children for them to develop. It is involving the taking of the new information in their environment where these children are existing and then altering the pre-existing schemas to fit the new information. Advocacy by the stakeholders of the gifted children must involve understanding the challenges in order to look for the new solution which is better than the previously applied ones. The human brain can be programmed through change (Carpendale, 2014).
