Authors Fear US May Not Be Able To Compete In Future The Straits Times, October 23, 1994, Sunday Plus; Pg. 1,2 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Singapore Press Holdings Keyword(s): I.Q.; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article reports on Murray and Herrnstein's study of race and I.Q. in "The Bell Curve." Drawing on data from the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, Herrnstein and Murray contend that intelligence is more important than socioeconomic status (SES) in affecting social variables, e.g., income, poverty, crime, and illegitimacy. Herrnstein and Murray also explore the intellectual difference between the races, arguing that IQ tests are not racially biased, blacks have lower IQ scores than whites, and those of low intelligence end up with low SES. Herrnstein and Murray conclude that the US is increasingly divided into a cognitive elite and a mass of ordinary citizens. |
