Reflect individuals not any innate "intellectual" abilities. Carefully applied Stanford-Binet Intelligence test, finding "Some Exceptional Negro Children" in contrast to mulatto hypothesis.
Joseph St. Clair Price
(1929) No adequate comprehensive measurement of Negro intelligence. Research says black children develop physically more quickly but intelligence inferior. Probably due to inferior education of segregated schools but it was Doxey Wilkerson's (218) research that was dragged out because it justified segregation. Some, like L.A. Pechstein, say blacks perform BETTER in segregated schools since there are more black graduates than mixed high schools (lol what)
Martin Jenkins
(1930s) Superior Negro children are spread rather evenly through age and grade levels, tho socioeconomic status was high. Resemble other children in Chicago Public Schools. Not due to inherent racial factor.

(Dodson Award) Soon established Psi Chi (national honorary society for psych, first at a HBCU)
William Schockley
An avowed eugenicist who extended the eugenic notion to explain that many of the large improvident families with social problems have constitutional deficiencies in those parts of the brain which enable a person to plan and carry out plans. Plan to pay Black people with IQs below 100 who voluntarily submitted to sterilization operations!!!!!!

race suicide
As a result, progressives began to look for a way to easily eliminate degeneracy and disorder in the new chaos (Gottshall). European settlers sought to establish a community, based on modern science, which fulfilled the Manifest Destiny and downplayed the Spanish and Mexican past of the territory (Stern, Eugenic Nation, p. 85). Furthermore, African-American men were seen as being excessively virile and this needed to be controlled to protect women (Kline, p. 9). Similarly, the idea of "______ _________" emerged on a national level.

intrinsic, environmental
Blaming the victim is, of course, quite different from old-fashioned conservative ideologies that dismissed victims on the basis of ___________, even hereditary, defect. The sympathetic social scientists and liberal politicians shift the emphasis to ________________ causation, attributing defect to the malignant nature of poverty, injustice, slum life, and racial difficulties.
structural, genetics, situation
Blue Genes, Richard Nisbett First, although Murray and Herrnstein do not deny that racism and ___________ factors play a role in producing some of the I.Q. differences between blacks and whites, the authors note that socioeconomic status could not plausibly account for such profile differences, and imply that this leaves __________ as the most likely explanation. Head Start and similar programs often produce large I.Q. or achievement gains in preschool children, but Murray and Herrnstein call these programs failure's, since once children return to their relatively impoverished environments, the gains fade. But if social scientists know anything, it is that the immediate _________ is of utmost importance. Selectively ignores evidence of sustained changes.

Despite the discomfort and frustration he felt, however, Guthrie always knew he had a ______ to be there. That sense of confidence is what propelled him to pursue a degree in psychology when few blacks could, to go on to teach at the University of Pittsburgh, to study multicultural issues as a senior research psychologist in Washington, D.C., and to pen the now-classic tome, "Even the Rat Was White: A Historical View of Psychology."

Neither records nor reports were required by any of the California sterilization laws to be kept (Laughlin, p. 137).
minority, acceptance
For example, __________ as a concept does not generate a change in the traditional normative value of inferiority associated with Afro-Americans.

Freedom is Slavery, Ann Hulbert Murray: New racism says blacks are only ______________ less competent than whites. But actually, even with chances, they still aren't as good. He fulfilled his own prophecy. Purport to dispense "difficult" material to break societal taboo of talking about it. Anyone who __________ that branding one race with unalterable inferiority will have anything but a divisive, corrosive impact among groups is not leveling with the public, or with himself.

Murray and Herrnstein strive for a ______ position-actually a 40 percent to 80 percent position-those parameters defining, in their view, the contribution that genes make to intelligence. The proper question is, whether intervention improves not l.Q., but _____ chances. There is a historical irony. I.Q. testing began as an attack on privilege. Urged by those who believed in merit, the test would __________ the undeserved monopoly on power enjoyed by hereditary elites. So long as people were divided by brains, they never would be divided by ascribed characteristics. But in the hands of Murray and Herrnstein, I.Q. reintroduces _______ into American life. Say they are reporting data and will wait to interpret but cannot restrain self. Let Blacks take pride in whatever as it doesn't matter as we whites will retain control over knowledge.
industrial

Brown & Low (2008)
HYPOTHESIS: Chaotic living conditions will predict helpless/hopeless responses to academic challenge, and sleep problems will mediate this relationship. PARTICIPANTS: 96 children enrolled in Head Start from 3-5 years. 60% poor, 30% low-income, 80% African American. All spoke English but ranged from 0-87% on verbal ability. METHOD: Interview measuring chaotic living conditions. Puzzler and lower tasks to measure helpless responses to academic challenge. Sleep habits questionnaire, caregiver for child. Peabody Picture Vocab Test-III to measure verbal ability. RESULTS: significant relations between CLC and helpless response to challenge, with sleep partially mediating influence of CLC on helpless response. LIMITATIONS: correlational design, single informant, broad measure of sleep problems, small sample of economically disadvantaged preschoolers

cultural
Modern science is a __________ phenomenon: it cannot remain indifferent to the uses to which it will be put.

twice
Most estimates of heritability of intelligence indicate that genetic factors are about _______ as important as environmental factors as a cause of IQ differences among individuals.

G. Stanley Hall

rationalize, close
Race Mutters, Hugh Pearson Murray and Herrnstein sound like two people who have found a way for racists to _____________ their racism without losing sleep over it. The white elites the authors speak of retain an inordinate degree of control over our economy, and blacks are not assured opportunities to continue to prosper. If a high percentage of them already suspect that blacks are less intelligent than everyone else, then we risk the chance that some of them will use the findings to _______ off opportunities. If scientific, why not question the monolithic racial categories? They must've been aware at the questionable racial categories, but didn't appear to affect anything. But that doesn't mean that black youths shouldn't aim to meet the same standards of excellence as everyone else. We should still strive to reach the point in our society at which blacks on average are uniformly admitted to the best colleges and professional schools with the same grades and test scores as Asian and white students. And for those who can't gain admission (just as is true for whites who can't qualify), attending second-tier schools shouldn't foreclose any opportunities. There are plenty of, successful whites who never attended prestigious universities, and plenty of them who don't harbor exceptional I.Q.s.

Research findings also must be used to alter dehumanizing social conditions by changing the political context of public policy from dependency to __________. Therefore, our research should never be so pure as to rule out political _________ in getting specific social legislation to pass.
prejudice
Research at WV was done without outside financial assistance... complained bitterly about this. Neglected because of race __________, barring him from northern university positions, isolated from white colleagues, and exerted effect on scholarship.

inhibit

filter

During the 1950s-1960s, thought to be at the forefront of schizophrenia treatments. likely a place of numerous acts of patient abuses and negligent deaths despite claims of ground-breaking cures for insanity. Electroshock therapy ended in the 1970s. Further, it was criticized for releasing patients who likely needed more supervision. It closed as a hospital in 1997 because of low patient numbers and rising costs per patient. The land is now used for a California State University.

Stockton
performed the largest amount of sterilizations out of the six state hospitals; accounting for almost 40% of the total amount performed up to this date (June 1926); made possible bc physicians believed in the medical value of sterilization and demonstrated this conviction in their work, thinking their patients showed "marked improvement"
E.S. Gosney
philanthropist who helped to finance and promote the eugenics program (Popenoe). He worked along with Popenoe to collect data about sterilizations by researching California's state institutions. He helped fund and create the Human Betterment Foundation for well-known wealthy individuals who supported eugenics. The HBF funded surveys to study the effects of sterilizations and promote its benefits (Bruinius, p. 272). Unlike many eugenic supporters of the day, his focus was primarily on the benefits for society, not the benefits for the individual (Braslow, p. 41).
Paul Popenoe
raised in California and studied Biology. As a journalist, he wrote columns promoting eugenics. He believed that charity was the reason society had so many degenerates that had survived for so long. He conducted extensive research about IQs and the individuals who had been sterilized in order to promote the cause (Stern, Eugenic Nation, pp. 105-107). Working with E.S. Gosney, he researched California's eugenic institutions and helped promote the program (Braslow, p. 41). Although he continued to work on Eugenics for the rest of his life, he eventually had to denounce negative eugenics as it fell out of favor in the 1940s (Stern, Eugenic Nation, p. 106).

Ulysses S. Webb
the attorney general of California during much of the Progressive Era, holding that position for 37 years. He was confident that eugenic sterilization laws, especially those requiring some form of consent, would survive a challenge by the courts. He preferred that sterilizations be used as a medical treatment, rather than as a punishment by the courts (Gottshall).
