  • The Meaning of 'Intelligence' to Lebanese Teachers

    Open AccessJack D Keehn, E Terry ProthroARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology1958Cited by: 3

    The question of the meaning of intelligent for English-speaking Lebanese teachers was explored by having twelve teachers rate students in nine classes on eleven scales, including a scale of intelligence.

    In the study reported here the authors attempted to discover whether residence in an authoritarian culture leads to greater acceptance of the "authoritarian" items of the California scale and to test the validity of that scale.
