Family Factors and Intellectual Test Performance: A Reply to Steelman.

Zajonc, R. B.

Review of Educational Research, v56 n3 p365-71 Fall 1986

This article finds the empirical review of the intellectual effects of family factors by Lala Carr Steelman wanting because (1) it is selective and incomplete; (2) it ignores systematic aggregate effects; (3) it imposes linear analysis on nonmonotone relationships; and (4) it disregards most of the confounds identified by Steelman as crucial.
