Cultural Bias in the WISC.

Miele, Frank

Intelligence, v3 n2 p149-64 Apr-Jun 1979

This study examines cultural bias in the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. Results indicated no evidence of specific factors peculiar to Blacks v Whites, and rank order of item difficulties was similar in both groups. Race differences were due to differences in mental maturity rather than to test bias. (Author/RD)
