Bias in the Attribution of Hyperkinetic Behavior as a Function of Ethnic Identification and Socioeconomic Status.
Stevens, Gwendolyn
Psychology in the Schools, v18 n1 p99-106 Jan 1981
Children from various cultural backgrounds were assessed for hyperkinesis using a behavioral rating scale in order to determine whether perceived socioeconomic status and ethnic identification of assessees would influence judgement. Lower socioeconomic and ethnic minority children were rated as being more hyperkinetic than middle class and Anglo-American children. (RC)
