IQ Correlations in Transracial Adoptive Families.
Scarr, Sandra; And Others
Intelligence, v17 n4 p541-55 Oct-Dec 1993
Intelligence tests were administered twice to 426 members of 93 transracial adoptive families, once when the adopted children's ages averaged 7 years and again when they averaged 17 years. Correlations suggest that influences on intellectual development in this sample of black and interracial adoptees reared in white families are similar to those of children in majority populations.
