From Speculation to Epistemological Violence in Psychology (2008, background): “Of course, psychologists have produced interpretations of data in favor of promoting a genetic speculation (e.g., Rushton & Jensen, 2005).”
Racial Inequality in the 21st Century: The Declining Significance of Discrimination. NBER Working Paper No. 16256. (2010, unknown): “…of high heritability of innate ability (typically above 0.6 for adults, but somewhat lower for children, e.g., Neisser et al. (1996) or Plomin et al. (2000), and persistent racial gaps in test scores is evidence of genetic differences across races (Jensen, 1973, 1998; Rushton and Jensen, 2005).”
Relevance of education and intelligence at the national level for the economic welfare of people (2008, background): “5) and genes (Rushton & Jensen, 2005) are all likely to contribute also to intelligence differences between nations and groups.”
Race: a social destruction of a biological concept (2010, background): “For a recent overview of the literature and a forceful defense of the hereditarian position in this debate see Rushton and Jensen (2005) .”
Who Are the Bright Children? The Cultural Context of Being and Acting Intelligent (2007, background): “In particular, differences that in the past have been viewed as genetic may actually be socialized (cf. Rowe, 2005; Rushton & Jensen, 2005).”
Race and Economic Opportunity in the United States: an Intergenerational Perspective* (2018, unknown): “logical reason that racial differences in cognitive ability would vary by gender (Rushton and Jensen 2005).”
Is the Flynn effect on g?: A meta-analysis (2013, background): “There are strong differences of opinion on the causes of group differences in IQ: Rushton and Jensen (2005, 2010) argue that there is a strong genetic component to group differences, whereas Nisbett (2009) argues that group differences are wholly due to Blacks and non-Western immigrants growing up…”
Testing for Racial Differences in the Mental Ability of Young Children (2013, unknown): “The estimated Black-White test score gap at young ages is taken as .06 based on our findings, compared to a gap of 1.0 at later ages based on prior research (Rushton and Jensen, 2005).”
The g‐factor of international cognitive ability comparisons: the homogeneity of results in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and IQ‐tests across nations (2007, unknown): “Lynn, Rushton, Jensen, and others (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2002, 2006; Lynn, 2006; Rushton, 1997/1995; Rushton & Jensen, 2005; Templer & Arikawa, 2006) have tried to explain macro-social level differences by genetic theories.”
Raven’s test performance of sub-Saharan Africans: average performance, psychometric properties, and the Flynn Effect (2010, background): “They concluded that the average IQ of the populations of sub-Saharan Africa in terms of UK norms lies below 70 (Lynn, 2006; Rushton & Jensen, 2005).”
A systematic literature review of the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans (2010, background): “One study, often referred to in the literature (Lynn, 2006; Rushton & Jensen, 2005), is Zindi (1994a).”
