• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A thorough overview of the history and research findings concerning bias in intelligence testing In Essentials of Evaluating Bias in Intelligence Testing, author and school psychologist Craig L. Frisby provides a comprehensive discussion of bias claims that have been levelled against individually administered IQ tests when used during the evaluation of clients in a variety of settings. The book carefully reviews bias claims in the selection, standardization, content, administration, scoring, and interpretation of popular individually administered intelligence tests in contemporary professional practice. The book reviews critical foundational concepts on what IQ test bias is, what it is not, and how researchers evaluate empirically any potential biases in commonly used measures. Readers will also learn about the multifaceted construct of human intelligence, and what kinds of test items are good measures of intellectual functioning. In addition, the author provides key sociopolitical contexts to central issues in intelligence testing, particularly the Larry P. v. Wilson Riles court decision of 1979 - which prohibited the use of IQ tests when placing Black students in certain special education programs in the state of California. The book is perfect for educators, academics, clinicians, and administrators seeking a comprehensive picture of individualized IQ testing, and its validity for responsible use across different demographic groups in the United States and abroad. Essentials of Evaluating Bias in Intelligence Testing is the must-read guide that clinicians, school/child psychologists, and educators have been waiting for.
