This study investigated the life projects of 40 adolescents with high abilities/giftedness, equally divided by sex and type of giftedness (schoolhouse or creative production). The clinical method proposed by Piaget was used to ask assess the youths’ life projectsand their justifications. Results indicated that 229 projections emphasized ‘academic education’, ‘professional activity’ and ‘loving relationship’. The justifications were mainly of the ‘selfcentered’ type, suggesting that most of the projections did not present the moral and ethical perspective, since they marked the individual interests without the moral values. We hope that the results will help psychopedagogical actions that motivate the creation of ethical life projects aimed at building a society based on morality and ethics.

Este estudio investigó los proyectos de vida de 40 adolescentes con indicios de altas habilidades/superdotación, divididos igualmente en cuanto al sexo y tipo de superdotación (escolar o creativo-productiva).

Las justificaciones fueron, principalmente, del tipo ‘autocentrado’, sugiriendo que la mayoría de las proyecciones no presentó la perspectiva moral y ética, pues señalaron los intereses individuales, desprovistos de los valores morales. Esperamos que los resultados ayuden a las acciones psicopedagógicas que motiven la creación de proyectos de vida éticos para la con...
