Intellectual Growth during Late Adolescence: Effects of Sex and Race Mankind Quarterly 50,1-2 (Fall-Winter 2009): 138-184. Also: http://www.mankindquarterly.org/fall_winter2009_meisenberg.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Council for Social and Economic Studies Keyword(s): Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Gender Differences; I.Q.; Intelligence; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Group differences in intelligence depend on the age at which the cognitive test is administered. Using data from the NLSY79 in the United States, this study analyzes scores on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). The rise in scores on ASVAB subtests, IQ and g is essentially linear from age 15 to 23. The rise is greater for males than females, a difference that is statistically significant (p<.01) for g in the white but not the black group. The rate of age-dependent score increases is considerably greater in Whites than Blacks (p<.001). Possible causes of these age trends are investigated. |

Sex Differences in Intelligence: Developmental Origin Yes, Jensen Effect No Mankind Quarterly 58,1 (2017): 101-108. Also: https://doi.org/10.46469/mq.2017.58.1.8 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Mankind Quarterly Keyword(s): Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Gender Differences; Intelligence Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Richard Lynn's developmental theory of sex differences in intelligence is evaluated using the administration of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery in the NLSY79. Score increases between age 15 and age 23 are found to be greater in males than in females, supporting an essential element of the theory. On the other hand, neither the sex differences themselves nor their developmental changes are related in any consistent way to the g loadings of the subtests. Therefore sex differences should not be conceptualized as differences in "general" intelligence (g). |

Effects of Sex, Race, Ethnicity and Marital Status on the Relationship between Intelligence and Fertility Mankind Quarterly 1,3 (Spring 2010): 151-187. Also: http://www.mankindquarterly.org/samples/Meisenberg.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Council for Social and Economic Studies Keyword(s): Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB); Fertility; Gender Differences; Intelligence; Marital Status; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A negative relationship between intelligence and fertility in the United States has been described repeatedly, but little is known about the mechanisms that are responsible for this effect. Using data from the NLSY79, we investigate this issue separately for Blacks, non-Hispanic Whites and Hispanics. The major findings are: (1) Differential fertility would reduce the average IQ of the American population by up to 1.2 points per generation in the absence of migration and environmental changes; (2) About 0.4 points of the effect is caused by selection within racial and ethnic groups, and the rest is caused by between-group selection; (3) Differential fertility by intelligence is greatest in Hispanics and smallest in non-Hispanic Whites; (4) The fertility-reducing effect of intelligence is greater in females than males; (5) The IQ-fertility relationship is far stronger for unmarried than married people, especially females; (5) High intelligence does not reduce the desire for children; (6) High intelligence does not reduce the likelihood of marriage; (7) Education is the principal mediator of the IQ effect for married women. |

Race, Socioeconomic Variables, and Intelligence: A Review and Extension of the Bell Curve Mankind Quarterly 35,3, (Spring 1995): 267-291 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79 Publisher: Mankind Quarterly Keyword(s): Genetics; I.Q.; Income Level; Intelligence; Intelligence Tests; Poverty; Racial Differences; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status (SES) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A review essay on a book by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray, The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life (New York: The Free Press, 1994. 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. It is argued that, although they use somewhat dated sources, Herrnstein and Murray offer a superior discussion of the role of intelligence in modern society and racial differences in IQ scores. Here, discussion also includes some recent scientific work that links racial difference in intelligence to genetics. 2 Figures, 46 References. S.
