Studies that have overcome methodological problems in examining intelligence scores for African- americans as compared to people of Anlo-Saxon descent revealed: a. that the test results were useless becxause racial prejudice invalidated them b. thst African Americans scored higher in certain areas c. a slight difference between these two groups d. no genetic differences between the two groups I choose C, am I right?
Yes, C. There is more overlap in IQ distribution than there is differences in the mean IQ. Also more of the difference is due to socioeconomic variables rather than race itself.
the answer is D.
To determine if you are right, let's break down the question and the answer choices. The question asks about the findings of studies that have addressed methodological problems in examining intelligence scores for African-Americans compared to people of Anglo-Saxon descent.
Let's evaluate each answer choice:
a. that the test results were useless because racial prejudice invalidated them - This option suggests that racial prejudice rendered the test results useless. While racial prejudice can have an impact on intelligence testing, it does not address the specific findings regarding intelligence scores for African-Americans compared to people of Anglo-Saxon descent.
b. that African Americans scored higher in certain areas - This option suggests that the studies found African Americans to score higher in specific areas compared to people of Anglo-Saxon descent. However, this answer choice does not accurately reflect the findings of the studies that overcame methodological problems.
c. a slight difference between these two groups - This option mentions a slight difference between African-Americans and people of Anglo-Saxon descent. It is important to note that this answer choice does not specify in which direction the difference falls or elaborate on the nature of the difference.
d. no genetic differences between the two groups - This option suggests that the studies found no genetic differences between African-Americans and people of Anglo-Saxon descent. While it is relevant to the overall topic, it does not directly address the specific findings of the studies in overcoming methodological problems.
Given the answer choices, option C aligns most closely with the specifics of the question. However, it is important to note that without further information on the studies or their specific findings, it may not be possible to definitively determine the correct answer.
