Extending the classical twin method, Arthur R. Jensen claims to find unique estimates of the variance and covariance of the genetic and environmental components of IQ. The analyses presented in this paper show that a wide variety of parameter estimates are compatible with his model and data. But the extent of indeterminancy is deemed to be even…

This study bears on Arthur R. Jensen's latest statement on the heritability of intelligence. Allowing for gene-environment correlation, Jensen (1975) reports that under a wide range of assumptions, the twin data show that one-half to three-fourths of IQ variance is accounted for by genetic factors. This conclusion falls when an arbitrary…

It appears that definitions of "adult" that invoke notions of social role as the central explanatory construct are well-founded. At present it appears that roles (and their associated experience) account for about 50 percent of the variance in attitude change; historical events might account for the other 50 percent. Available from:…
