Socio-economic status and culturally-weighted test scores of Negro subjects

Abstract

213 pairs of white and Negro high-school seniors in Pa. and New Jersey had been matched for age, school attendance and curriculum, and 11 socio-economic factors. The score on a revision of the Sims Record Card was used to define socio-economic status. The present study found that "… in the comparison between the highest and lowest socio-economic group of Negroes, a greater difference is obtained on the non-cultural, not on the cultural , questions. The difference between the two H-L differences is significant only at the 20% level." (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
