White–black differences in g and non-g effects for the SAT and ACT
چکیده انگلیسی

This research examined g and non-g effects for the SAT and ACT for whites and blacks. SAT scores, ACT scores, and college GPAs were obtained from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. g was estimated using the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. Results indicated that (a) the g loadings of SAT and ACT composite scores were lower for whites than blacks, (b) group differences in the g loadings were related to the math subtests of the SAT and ACT, and (c) non-g variance accounted for surprisingly large percentages of SAT–GPA and ACT–GPA relations (range = 37–67%). The findings are discussed in terms of Spearman’s Law of Diminishing Returns.


► The g loadings of SAT and ACT composite scores were lower for whites than blacks.
► White–black differences in g loadings were related to the math subtests of the SAT and ACT.
► Non-g variance accounted for surprisingly large percentages of SAT–GPA and ACT–GPA relations.
