Ethnic and Racial Similarity in Developmental Process: A Study of Academic Achievement Psychological Science 6,1 (January 1995): 33-38.

Assessment instruments included the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment and an indirect measure based on sibling correlations for achievement. Data were from 1,130 children (mean age 9 years in 1988) of participants in the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The 8 * 8 correlation matrices were computed on Hispanics, Blacks, and Whites separately. When compared employing a LISREL method, the matrices were equal across the ethnic-racial groups, suggesting that developmental processes influencing academic achievement may be similar in Hispanics, Blacks, and Whites. A structural equation model with 4 free parameters was fitted successfully to a correlation matrix pooled across groups. The existence of minority-specific developmental processes was not supported.

No More Than Skin Deep: Ethnic and Racial Similarity in Developmental Process Psychological Review 101,3 (July 1994): 396-413 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: American Psychological Association (APA) Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Ethnic Differences; Ethnic Groups; Hispanics; Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); LISREL; Minority Groups; Pairs (also see Siblings); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Racial Differences; Self-Esteem; Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC); Siblings Many studies adduce evidence of ethnic or racial dissimilarities in developmental outcomes (e.g., delinquency and achievement). Many researchers fail to distinguish between group average levels and developmental processes (correlations). Evidence is reviewed that developmental processes are nearly identical for U.S. Black, Hispanic, White, and Asian ethnic and racial groups. Using diverse and representative data sources, covariance matrices were computed for these ethnic groups and then compared by using a LISREL goodness-of-fit test. Not only were these matrices nearly identical but they also were no less alike than covariance matrices computed from random halves within ethnic or racial group. This article documents the importance of accepting ethnic and racial similarity of developmental processes. Thus, group average level differences may result from different levels of developmental antecedents working through common developmental pathways. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved) |
