Abstract
The study aims to identify the correlation between intelligence with depression, anxiety, and stress. This research employs descriptive and inference study design involving a total of 131 students at PERMATA Insan College, USIM. The intelligence of the gifted students is measured by the scores obtained through an online test, PERMATApintar UKM2. Instrument used to measure the negative emotional states of mental health is Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The results of the study found that high level of intelligence was most dominant among gifted students. Whereas the level of stress and depression are in mild level, while anxiety is at a moderate level. The results showed that there was no significant difference between intelligence with the mental health issues. Implications of this study can help the gifted and talented students to seek for strategies to overcome the depression, anxiety, and stress faced by themselves. Thus, assist the gifted students in experiencing balanced social and emotional development. Researchers also suggest for future research to further study on the intelligence with depression, anxiety, and stress, especially among gifted and talented students. Future studies are also needed to understand other factors that may contribute towards the tendency to these mental health issues.
