Introduction: the phenomenon of giftedness is sufficiently studied in domestic and foreign psychology, and some features of the mental and personal development of gifted children and adolescents are studied. Particular attention is paid to the instrumental and motivational aspects of giftedness, as well as interpersonal and environmental influences. The psychological well-being of gifted adolescents rarely serves as the main subject of research.Materials and methods: psychodiagnostic tools for studying the personal characteristics of gifted adolescents include testing using Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being in the adaptation of L. V. Zhukovskaya and E. G. Troyshinoy, The scale of self-efficacy M. Madduks and D. Scheer in the adaptation of L.V. Boyarintseva and R.L. Krichevsky, Frankfurt scale self-concept J.M. Doisinger in the adaptation of O.E. Baitinger, Test of Hardiness Survey, S. Muddy, in the adaptation of E.N. Asina and E.I. Rasskazova, the Subjecting Structure Diagnostic Questionnaire, Ye.N. Volkova and I.A. Seregina, Integrative Anxiety Test A.P. Bizyuka, L.I. Wasserman, B.V. Iovleva. The group of authors proposed a variant of the “Unfinished sentences” methodology and a questionnaire aimed at studying the various components of attitudes towards adolescents ’own endowments and problem load.Results: we have proposed and are testing a cross-sectional study of a methodical complex for diagnosing integrative indicators of psychological well-being, as well as such subjective factors of psychological well-being, such as attitudes toward one’s own endowments, subjectivity, hardiness, problem experiences, emotional background, self-concept and self-efficacy (components is allocated in accordance with the developed theoretical model). This complex includes both standardized and projective techniques.Discussion and Conclusions: the research methodology created and tested during the project will contribute to the formation of a unified methodological support and centralized coordination of monitoring research on the most common personal problems among gifted adolescents, as well as the development of effective programs for the development of psychological well-being and health resources for adolescents and young people.
