Attenuated Hypothesis or Attenuated Test of Hypothesis?
Humphreys, Lloyd G.
Intelligence, v9 n3 p291-95 Jul-Sep 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)
