- W2034227006 abstract "THE PROBLEM of obtaining a valid estimate of general intelligence for sub jects drawn from two differing occupational levels is a crucial one. Research has shown that children from higher occupational levels tend to have higher IQ's than those from lower levels. This fact has been variously interpr eted and is by no means a simple one to analyze. Much of the interpretation tends to support the proposition advanced by Davis (4), who argues that the i n t e 1 ligence tests commonly used are culturally biased and, hence, mask the real learning ability of children from lower socioeconomic groups. Although differences in educational opportunities may partly account for differences in performance on intelligence tests, one cannot disregard the dif ferences in physical, social, and emotional status which are evidenced by children from different socioeconomic levels (1). Consequently, children may be performing less efficiently because of a complex of hereditary, phy s i c a 1, nutritional, emotional, and cultural factors rather than because of s o m e i n trinsic factor in the intelligence test which is closely related to educational experiences. Since most research on the performance of differing occupational groups on intelligence tests has utilized random sampling techniques, many of the factors which might affect performance have not been controlled. Consequently, these could also obscure the real learning ability of the lower socioeconomic groups. A researcher, not being cognizant of this possibility, would tend to assign too much weight to the intrinsic factors in the test itself. The problem, then, in studying the intellectual behavior of two different socioeconomic groups be comes one of controlling as many variables as possible in order to account more accurately for significant differences that may occur in performance. This research was designed to cope with the above-mentioned problem. The purpose was to test the hypothesis that two groups of boys, drawn from two different socioeconomic levels, will show similar performance on the WISC if they are similar in age, residence, school attendance, family unit, race, nationality, physical status and health. To obtain a major variation in the cultural factor, three indices of socio economic status generally recommended by researchers were employed (3, 5). These were occupation, education, and income of parents. The WISC was se lected as the most appropriate instrument for measuring general intelligence since research has suggested that more reliance can be placed onperformance tests than on verbal tests, or tests with a high degree of verbal loading (2). Although the WISC may discriminate to some extent against the lower-c lass" @default.
