  • Quide the Formation of Any Social Policies, Particularly Those Affecting Families, from a Conservative/Pro-Family Point-Of-View
    irc MEMORANDUM TO; The Coalitions FROM; Connie Marshner DATE: May 20, 1981 SUBJECT: Yale Conference This week I participated in a conference at Yale University sponsored by the Rush Center for Child Development on the topic of "What is Pro-Family Policy. The list of speakers with their biographies is attached. The Bush Center for Child Development is a project supported by the Bush Foundation which is the 3-M Corporation Foundation. There are four such centers at universities around the country: Michigan, California, North Carolina and Yale. This conference was one of several they have during the year at which Bush Center people from all over the country come to hear and to participate. Mv talk on Tuesday was a straight-forward explanation of what principles shoul4 quide the formation of any social policies, particularly those affecting families, from a conservative/pro-family point-of-view. I had been expecting a much more lively controversy to be provoked than I ended up getting. In fact the wh 1 conference was more staid and dull than I had expected, even for an academic environment. I am not sure to what to attribute this. Perhaps the profession 1 child development types there felt there was no point in trying to ar^e with me. Perhaps they had anticipated what I was going to say or perhaps they don t ca e what the principles of pro-family policy are, but in any event it was less lively a conference than I had been expecting. I might note in passing that the afternoon speaker on Monday, Alan Crawford, made sort of a fool of himself and did not provoke any interest on the part of the audience either.

  • The Black-White Test Score Gap: an Introduction
    CHRISTOPHER JENCKS MEREDITH PHILLIPS 1 The Black-White Test Score Gap: An Introduction FRICAN AMERICANS currently score lower than A European Americans on vocabulary, reading, and mathematics tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic apti- tude and intelligence.1 This gap appears before children enter kindergarten (figure 1-1), and it persists into adulthood. It has narrowed since 1970, but the typical American black still scores below 75 percent of American whites on most standardized tests.2 On some tests the typical American black scores below more than 85 percent of whites.3 1. We are indebted to Karl Alexander, William Dickens, Ronald Ferguson, James Flynn, Frank Furstenberg, Arthur Goldberger, Tom Kane, David Levine, Jens Ludwig, Richard Nisbett, Jane Mansbridge, Susan Mayer, Claude Steele, and Karolyn Tyson for helpful criticisms of earlier drafts. But we did not make all the changes they suggested, and they are in no way responsible for our conclusions. 2. These statistics also imply, of course, that a lot of blacks score above a lot of whites. If the black and white distributions are normal and have the same standard deviation, and if the black-white gap is one (black or white) standard deviation, then when we compare a randomly selected black to a randomly selected white, the black will score higher than the white about 24 percent of the time. If the black-white gap is 0.75 rather than 1.00 standard deviations, a randomly selected black will score higher than a randomly selected white about 30 percent of the time.

  • Letting Go of Little Albert: Disciplinary Memory, History, and the Uses of Myth1
    Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences, Vol. 47(1), 1–17 Winter 2011 View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary.com (wileyonlinelibrary.com). DOI 10.1002/jhbs.20470 © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. LETTING GO OF LITTLE ALBERT: DISCIPLINARY MEMORY, HISTORY, AND THE USES OF MYTH1 BEN HARRIS In 2009 American Psychologist published the account of an attempt to identify the infant “Albert B.,” who participated in Watson and Rayner’s study of the conditioning of human fears. Such literal interpretations of the question “Whatever happened to Little Albert?” highlight the importance of historical writing that transcends the narrowly biographical and that avoids the obsessive hunt for “facts.” The author of a 1979 study of how second- ary sources have told the story of Little Albert relates his attempts to purge incorrect ac- counts of that story from college textbooks. He renounces such efforts as misguided and suggests that myths in the history of psychology can be instructive, including the myth that the identity of Little Albert has been discovered. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. In 1979, American Psychologist published “Whatever Happened to Little Albert,” a review of psychologists’ telling and retelling the story of a famous experiment that took place 60 year earlier. In that study, the behaviorist John B. Watson and his student Rosalie Rayner tried to condition fear in an infant they called “Albert B.” (Watson & Rayner, 1920). Albert had been volunteered by his mother, who lived and worked at an orphanage adjacent to Johns Hopkins University. At the end of the experiment, the infant and his mother moved away and his fate became unknown.
