Subgroup Norming: Legitimate Testing Practice or Reverse Discrimination?
Brown, Dianne C.
American Psychologist, v49 n11 p927-28 Nov 1994
Introduces controversial issue of subgroup norming, in which normative reference data are based on subgroups of population rather than on total group, in employment testing and briefly highlights two articles that address this issue. Controversy over subgroup norming has increased with passage of Civil Rights Act of 1991, which bans any form of score adjustment on basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin. (GLR)
