%X This study examines differences in coping strategies (CSs) in relation to gifted status, gender, and family size. Two hundred gifted adolescents were selected from gifted schools, and 1000 non-gifted adolescents were selected from ordinary schools. One-way multivariate analysis of variance produced significant differences among the subjects in relation to gifted status, gender, and family size. Descriptive discriminant analysis revealed that the CS ”°Seeking Professional Support”± was the most significant to distinguish between gifted and non-gifted adolescents among the selected variables (i.e. gifted status, gender, and family size). Moreover, ”°Investing in Close Friend”± was the most significant to distinguish between the participants in relation to gender. On the other hand, ”°Ventilating Feelings”± contributed the most in distinguishing between the subjects in relation to family size
