Family Size and Birth Order as Factors on the IQ Performance of Black and White Children.

Steelman, Lala Carr; Doby, John T.

Sociology of Education, v56 n2 p101-09 Apr 1983

Birth-order is unrelated to verbal and nonverbal IQ performance of either Black or White children; family size is inversely related to the verbal IQ performance of both groups but not to their nonverbal performance; and the inverse impact of family size on verbal ability does not differ significantly by race. (Author/RM)
