Test Bias: The Other Side of the Coin.
Rosenbach, John H.; Mowder, Barbara A.
Psychology in the Schools, v18 n4 p450-54 Oct 1981
Reviews some approaches to test bias and considers its fundamental causes. Suggests that because test validity is consistently high, the cultural bias of schooling is responsible. Proposes that because schooling reflects social values, resolution lies in social-political action, not psychological or psychometric advances. Discusses implications. (Author/JAC)
