International differences in the speed of cognitive development
The Simber Effect refers to the phenomenon whereby, in Arabic countries, young children have an IQ that is little different from that of Western children but that these differences increase throughout childhood culminating in a difference of around 20 points by adulthood. The true nature of this phenomenon is revealed by an examination of 125 samples from all around the globe measured with Raven's Progressive Matrices. We show that in many cases …
Factor structure in Raven’s Progressive Matrices Plus in sub-Saharan Africa – Benin and Djibouti
A recent meta-analysis identified factor structures in IQ-test results from non-western nations similar to those found in samples from western countries, with mostly strong loadings on a general factor. In this study, we identified the factor structure on Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices Plus (SPM+) in two samples of school children from Benin (n = 3 560) and Djibouti (n = 2 768). The SPM+ gained good overall reliabilities in both countries …
Cognitive Ability of Preschool, Primary and Secondary School Children in Costa Rica
Cognitive abilities of children in Costa Rica and Austria were compared using three age groups ( N =385/366). Cognitive ability tests (mental speed, culture reduced/fluid intelligence, literacy/crystallized intelligence) were applied that differed in the extent to which they refer to school-related knowledge. Preschool children (kindergarten, 5–6 years old, N CR =80, N Au =51) were assessed with the Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM), primary sc…
Gender Differences in Subjective Well-Being and Their Relationships with Gender Equality
Opinions about Teaching Modalities
Little is known about the acceptance of different teaching/learning modalities by students and faculty in the preclinical semesters of medical school. We report the results of an anonymous survey at Ross University School of Medicine, where most of the currently popular instructional methods are used. Study subjects included 327 students and 30 faculty members. 5 questions each were asked about lectures, handouts, textbooks, mediasite (video-reco…
Wealth, Intelligence, Politics and Global Fertility Differentials
Demographic trends in today's world are dominated by large fertility differentials between nations, with ‘less developed’ nations having higher fertility than the more advanced nations. The present study investigates whether these fertility differences are related primarily to indicators of economic development, the intellectual level of the population, or political modernity in the form of liberal democracy. Results obtained with multiple regres…
Designer babies on tap? Medical students' attitudes to pre-implantation genetic screening
This paper describes two studies about the determinants of attitudes to pre-implantation genetic screening in a multicultural sample of medical students from the United States. Sample sizes were 292 in study 1 and 1464 in study 2. Attitudes were of an undifferentiated nature, but respondents did make a major distinction between use for disease prevention and use for enhancement. No strong distinctions were made between embryo selection and germ l…
Not All Aggregate-Level Correlations Approach Unity
Unquestionably, aggregate-level correlations are in most cases higher than individual-level correlations. For example, in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) in the United States, the correlations are 0·487 between adolescent IQ and log-transformed adult income, 0·449 between years of schooling and adult income and 0·626 between years of schooling and IQ ( N =6064). The corresponding country-level correlations are 0·815, 0·816 and 0·…
Are acquiescent and extreme response styles related to low intelligence and education?
National Iqs Predict Differences in Scholastic Achievement in 67 Countries
This paper examines the relationship of the national IQs reported by Lynn & Vanhanen (2002, 2006) to national achievement in mathematics and science among 8th graders in 67 countries. The correlation between the two is 0·92 and is interpreted as establishing the validity of the national IQs. The correlation is so high that national IQs and educational achievement appear to be measures of the same construct. National differences in educational ach…
