Summary: This study examined anxiety levels in gifted students and the effectiveness of two interventions: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The results showed that female students and public school students reported higher anxiety levels. Both CBT and EFT interventions were tested, and EFT participants showed significant reductions in anxiety levels compared to the control group. CBT participants did not differ significantly from either the EFT or control groups in terms of anxiety reduction.
