Abstract

Research on giftedness have grown considerably in the Brazilian scientific scenario after 1990 and more vertiginously after 2008. Nevertheless, there is still little research about giftedness and the feminine gender. Thus, in an attempt to understand the limited literature and the challenges of this theme, this study aims to analyze articles on giftedness and gender published in scientific journals between 2007 and 2016 in order to discuss what propose they set, what progress they achieved and what points were neglected in this context. The method used in the research was the systematic review of empirical researches published in scientific journals indexed in two databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and CAPES Scientific Journals Gateway. The investigation resulted in 25 articles that were analyzed using the systematic review technique. Among the results obtained, three main themes are highlighted: gender differences analysis, gender stereotypes and professional aspirations. We emphasize the frequent use of scales, scores and psychometric tests to compare gender differences, the presence of gender stereotypes in giftedness identification processes and also the differences in professional aspirations and lifestyle of gifted men and women.
