Bridgeman, Brent; McHale, Frederick
Research in Higher Education, v39 n6 p663-77 Dec 1998
A study investigated the effect of adding a writing measure to the Graduate Management Admission Test on the gender/ethnic composition of an admissions pool. Standardized differences from the white male reference group were computed for men and women in four ethnic/minority groups: Whites, Asian-Americans, African-Americans, and Hispanic-Americans. English as a second language was also considered. Results are discussed. (Author/MSE)
