Utility of Socioeconomic Status as a Control in Racial Comparisons of IQ.
Wolff, Joseph L.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v70 n4 p473-77 Aug 1978
Trotman (EJ 168 902) indicated that Black and White families of similar socioeconomic status differ widely in intellectual home environment, and suggested the nonutility of socioeconomic status as a control in racial comparisons of IQ. The validity of Trotman's conclusions is questioned, both for methodology and results. (Author/BH)
