The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parental attitudes perceived by gifted middle school students and career development. The survey model, a quantitative research method, was used in this study. A convenience sample of 281 gifted middle school students was selected for the study. The Personal Information Form, Career Development Scale for Children, and Parental Attitude Scale were used for data collection. Independent two-sample t-tests and Kruskal-Wallis H analyses were used to analyze the independent variables. Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales and their directions. To determine the effect of the responsibility and acceptance sub-dimension on the career development scale, linear regression analysis was used. As a result of the research, the career development score average of 8th grade students was found to be significant and higher than that of 7th grade students. According to the variable of father's education level, the group with a father's education level of secondary school and below was found to be significant and higher than the other groups. In addition, the mean score of the Authority and Supervision Subdimension of male students was found to be significantly and higher than the mean score of the Authority and Supervision Subdimension of female students. According to the grade level variable, the Mean Authority and Supervision Subdimension Score of 7th grade students was significantly and higher than the Mean Authority and Supervision Subdimension Score of 8th grade students.
