The aim of this study was to examine the predictive role of parental and child socio-demographic factors, as well as giftedness factors (learning, motivation, creativity and leadership), on emotional and behavioural disorders,. A total of 182 parents completed the demographic questionnaire, the Renzulli-Hartman Scale and the CBCL questionnaire. In addition to giftedness the parental age, the fathers’ education level and chronic illnesses are significant predictors of emotional and behavioural disorders. Giftedness has a greater predictive power for internalization symptoms than for externalization symptoms, in line with previous studies.
