Observed differences between Associate and Bachelor students are often justified by citing the comparative poorer performance of 2-year students that continue into 4-year programs. This research offers a different approach by investigating introductory-level management courses taught as a combined class at a regional campus of a state university.…

Sex differences on the Dutch WISC-R were examined in Dutch children (350 boys, 387 girls, age 11-13 years) and Belgian children (370 boys, 391 girls, age 9.5-13 years). Multi-group covariance and means structure analysis was used to establish whether the WISC-R was measurement invariant across sex, and whether sex differences on the level of the…

Studies that have used noninvasive brain imaging techniques to record neocortical activity while individuals were performing cognitive intelligence tests (traditional intelligence) and social intelligence tests were reviewed. In cognitive intelligence tests 16 neocortical areas were active, whereas in social intelligence 10 areas were active.…

Background: This study examined the ability of 78 children (aged 9-12 years) with an intellectual disability (ID) to provide a narrative account of a staged event they had participated in four days earlier. Method: The children were interviewed using open-ended questions. The quality of their responses (using a story grammar framework) was…

Investigated whether high IQ subjects (N=18) could successfully fake good scores on the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). Results showed that both high and low IQ subjects who were instructed to fake a good score actually scored lower on the average than did their counterparts in the standard administration. (JAC)

Investigated racial differences in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory by comparing samples of Black and White men charged with murder (N=160). Results indicated Black murderers tend to deny symptoms of pathology and are more socially outgoing. The confounding effects of intelligence suggested separate Black and White norms are…

Work values help to shape cognitions and motivations and are therefore essential in one's process of searching for employment and remaining employable. The present study explored the typical work values preferred by university students in Malta. Gender and faculty differences as well as gender differences within faculties were explored.…

In this article, time effects on intelligence test scores have been investigated. In particular, we examined whether the "Flynn effect" is manifest in children from the middle and higher IQ distribution range, measured with a child intelligence test based on information processing principles--the Leiden Diagnostic Test. The test was administered…

Multiple discriminant analysis of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scores between high-IQ White, high-IQ Black, low-IQ White, and low-IQ Black subjects yielded two significant canonical variates. Results suggest that racial differences on the MMPI do not occur in all racial comparisons but are restricted to low-IQ groups. (Author)

Focuses on the difference in political efficacy found between black and white pre-adults. Suggests that the racial difference in feelings of political effectiveness is due to intelligence which, in turn, is basically a function of the social and economic environment. Suggests that intelligence may play a significant role in the political…

Responses of high IQ students and moderate IQ students to a set of questions about friendships were compared. Ss preferred friends of their own sex. More high IQ Ss reported their friends to be older than themselves, that they did not have enough friends, and that being smart made it harder to make friends. (CL)

Twelve elementary children talented in music and 12 talented in fine arts were matched with controls and given tests of personality, intelligence, verbal fluency, and an interest questionnaire. Despite little difference in general intelligence or reported development for the two groups, differences were found in self-confidence and home…

This study found that 10 adolescents with mental retardation processed stimuli varying with respect to symmetry in comparable manner to peers matched for mental age and chronological age. Results argue for the robustness of the symmetry effect across groups differing in intelligence and physically dissimilar stimulus types (checkerboard versus…

The relation between reflexive and voluntary orienting of visual attention was investigated with 4 experiments: a simple detection task, a localization task, a saccade toward the target task, and a target identification task in which discrimination difficulty was manipulated. Endogenous and exogenous orienting cues were presented in each trial and…

The present study provides a preliminary empirical test of [Chamorro-Premuzic, T., & Furnham, A. (2004). A possible model to understand the personality-intelligence interface.
