Abstract
This research aimed to determine the parenting styles and the education level of the parents of talented students. Students of secondary art schools and art faculties, as well as those from specialized classes of grammar schools for the gifted in mathematics, physics, and informatics, completed a scale consisting of 60 statements that include different parenting styles of mothers and fathers belonging to the following categories: authoritative, permissive, warm-restrictive (patriarchal), rejecting, and neglectful style. The authoritative style was found to be the most common, but also warm-restrictive and permissive, which points to warm-directive parenting. The mothers of musically talented students and fathers of students talented in computer science have a slightly more evident warm-restrictive style compared to the other groups. Finally, the mothers of talented students have a higher level of education than their fathers, which indicates the importance of mothers’ education for talent development.
