本研究透過質性研究的方式，針對兩個家庭中的父母以及資優生本人進行深入訪談與觀察，探討雙親在資優生生涯發展中所扮演的角色，父母對其子女生涯發展的看法與作法，以及雙親詮釋家庭的意義。
心頤是家中的老二，父母都採取比較開放的管教方式與朋友般的方式和心頤相處。至於雙親的角色，父親較常扮演引導與提供建議者、提供訊息者、輔導者等角色，母親則常扮演日常生活照顧者、活動安排與實際訓練者。雙親對其生涯發展抱持彈性的看法，希望她能突破女性角色的限制。並希望孩子能自我充實。在其生涯發展的作法，則包括對其生涯上的支持、提供建議與引導，以及對其行為的輔導、提供必要的協助與資訊。在詮釋家庭的意義上，父母強調早期親子互動與良好的家庭環境及氣氛的重要性，而父母也認為家庭只是提供一個良好的環境，得以讓孩子健全的發展。
明澤是家中長男，所以母親也比較費心照顧與訓練，而父親較常扮演生活習慣管教者、輔導者與引導提供建議者，母親則扮演日常照顧者、課業督導者、行為管教者、活動安排與實際訓練等吃重的角色。父母對他生涯發展的看法會希望他能選擇理論與實用兼顧的科系，對他以後的發展與自我充實都很關心。至於生涯發展上會加以引導、提供建議，在行為上會加以督導與管教。而父母認為家裡早期提供充足的刺激很重要，父母教育知識的充實也會有幫助。
此外，角色也隨著孩子的成長而有所變化，因此會根據研究結果加以討論，並以孩子未來發展的角度來省思，作為個人的啟示，以及一些研究上的建議供讀者參考。
