In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the self esteem, depression levels and nonfunctional attitudes of gifted and talented adolescents. For this purpose, a total of N = 94 participants, n = 45 girls and n = 49 males, who are in a high school 9th grade (N = 52) and 12th grade (N = 42) The Rosenberg Self-Respect Scale was applied. As a result of the research, it is concluded that the attitudes of the 9th grade students are not related to the self-esteem and depression characteristics, while the students who study at the 12th grade are related. According to these results, it is observed that as the ages of the gifted children increase, a significant relationship is developed especially in the opposite direction with respect to independence, perfectionist and variable attitudes, and depressive characteristics. It has been argued that the characteristics of the young people, both individualizing and not wanting to make mistakes, are an important factor in self-esteem and their effects on their emotions.
