Strauch, A. Barry – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
Three data sources, analyzed presently, failed to reveal a Sex by Race or Sex by Socioeconomic Status interaction. It was suggested that Sex by Race differences in income, education, and so on could be the result of racially related sex role expectations or cultural prejudice. (Author/MV)

Kleinfeld, J. S. – Review of Educational Research, 1973
This paper uses the eskimo as an illustration to argue that research based on a multi-ability model of intelligence such as the structure of intellect (Guilford, 1967) could identify cognitive strengths of culturally different groups and suggest occupational and educational areas where strengths could be used to advantage. (Author/SM)

Jensen, Arthur R. – Intelligence, 1985
Borkowski and Krause (1983) concluded that the locus of black-white intelligence differences lies in metaprocesses not elementary cognitive processes. However, some variables were difference scores with unacceptably low reliability. Magnitude comparisons of racial differences give a different picture of results; comparable differences in measures…

McKerrow, Kelly – Initiatives, 1998
Reviews relationship of IQ scores to race and gender. Explores the logic that supports the use of intelligence testing to discriminate and to exclude. Argues that default assumptions allow researchers to remain unaware of the subtle adverse impact of their research. Includes recommendations to encourage a broader understanding of intelligence.…

Borkowski, John G.; And Others – Intelligence, 1985
Jensen (1985) caused us to reexamine earlier findings. After correcting perceptual efficiency and executive systems measures for unreliability, original conclusions remain tenable. Control processes are factors in understanding race-related differences in intelligence. We do not deny the association of "speediness" but argue for a multidimensional…

Jensen, Arthur R. – Intelligence, 1985
The author refutes Humphrey's test of the Spearman hypothesis. A fair test requires that Black and White samples not be selected on any g-correlated variable, including socioeconomic status. Humphrey's factor analysis on test-score means of demographic groups, rather than on individuals, inflates g loadings and biases results. (LMO)

Humphreys, Lloyd G. – Intelligence, 1985
This author reviews published data and presents new data relevant to the Spearman hypothesis concerning racial differences on cognitive tests. He concludes that across-the-board difference between SES groups occurs primarily on the general factor, and that there are major determinants of race differences independent of the general factor.…

Humphreys, Lloyd G. – Intelligence, 1985
The author responds to criticisms made by Jensen pertaining to tests of the Spearman hypothesis. The near-zero correlation between Blacks and low socio-economic status Whites is neither an artifact of methodology nor a sampling fluke. Low and high SES White differences are highly correlated with general factor loadings. (LMO)
