“Identity versus identity confusion” constitutes a developmental crisis during adolescence according to Erikson’s theory of psycho-social development. Family dynamics is one of the influential factors in the resolution of the adolescent identity crisis. In spite of its being a crisis within a significant stage of life, this crisis has not received much research attention in terms of its effect on gifted children. The present study examined gifted children’s identity formation and the corresponding influence of family dynamics both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. The study used Terman’s (1925) longitudinal data collected on 1,528 intellectually gifted individuals. The results support some of the findings obtained with the general population regarding the importance of healthy family relationships, parents’ characteristics, and children’s independence training. Implications for practice and further research are discussed
