A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Three Common Psychopathologies--ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression--and Indicators of Little-c Creativity
Direct linkDirect link
Paek, Sue Hyeon; Abdulla, Ahmed M.; Cramond, Bonnie – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2016
There is a long-standing controversy over the relationship between psychopathology and creativity. Yet there is a lack of evidence regarding the relationship between common psychopathologies and indicators of little-c, or every day, creativity among laypeople. To make sense of this connection, we conducted a meta-analysis using 89 studies to…

One Justified Criticism Plus Three Flawed Analyses Equals Two Unwarranted Conclusions: A Reply to Retherford and Sewell.

Zajonc, R. B.; And Others – American Sociological Review, 1991
Responds to "Birth Order and Intelligence: Further Tests of the Confluence Model" by Robert D. Retherford and William H. Sewell. Reviews their arguments and suggests that their analyses of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study data support rather than contradict the model. (CJS)

Pfouts, Jane H. – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1980
Very close age spacing was an obstacle to high academic performance for later borns. In family relations and self-esteem, first borns scored better and performed in school as well as their potentially much more able younger siblings, regardless of age spacing. (Author)

(A response by Jensen appears in the next issue of Journal of Educational Statistics, p.385). (CTM)

Birth Order and Intelligence: Further Tests of the Confluence Model.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Retherford, Robert D.; Sewell, William H. – American Sociological Review, 1991
Confluence theory was developed to explain the negative effects of birth order on intelligence. Using aggregate, between-family, within-family, and paired-sibling data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study, tests the mathematical form of confluence theory and finds no support for it. Suggests that statistical methods used to fit the model to the…
