IQ and Social Class.
Fischbein, Siv
Intelligence, v4 n1 p51-63 Jan-Mar 1980
Swedish longitudinal studies of twins support Scarr-Salapatek's explanation of nature-nurture influences on intelligence. This model predicts more genetic variance in test results for advantaged than disadvantaged groups. Jensen's work, however, suggests equal amounts of variance among different social classes.
