Abstract

To understand divergent and remarkable lives lived, we examined the accomplishments, family dynamics, life orientation, psychological well-being, and definition of a meaningful life among two exceptional groups at age 50: Top Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) doctoral students (270 males, 255 females, originally surveyed in their mid-20s) and profoundly gifted adolescents (263 males, 71 females, top 0.01% in ability, first studied at age 12). The creativity and occupational stature of both cohorts were extraordinary and commensurate. Life priorities, time allocation, and breadth of interests created paths that differed for women and men, resulting in contrasting, but equally exceptional, life outcomes across career, life, and relationship satisfaction. Distinct constellations of personal attributes of intellectually and scientifically brilliant women, relative to such men, operated to form satisfying and productive lives that differed for the women and men as a whole. Findings cast light on the participation of women and men in STEM and conceptually demanding leadership positions.

谱写有意义的人生:50岁的杰出男女
为了了解不同的和非凡的生活,我们研究了50岁时两个特殊群体的成就、家庭动态、生活取向、心理健康和有意义的生活的定义:顶尖科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)博士生(270名男性,255名女性,最初调查于20多岁)和极具天赋的青少年(263名男性,71名女性,能力排名前0.01%,首次研究于12岁)。两组的创造力和职业地位都是非凡的,相称的。生活的优先顺序、时间分配和兴趣的广度为女性和男性创造了不同的道路,导致了在职业、生活和关系满意度方面的不同,但同样不同寻常的生活结果。在智力和科学上有才华的女性,相对于这样的男性而言,其独特的个人属性组合形成了令人满意和富有成效的生活,这对女性和男性来说,作为一个整体是不同的。调查结果揭示了女性和男性在STEM和概念要求高的领导职位中的参与情况。
