Gardner Lindzey’s scientific contributions

... Scholars including Frazier (1949) and Yosso and Solorzano (2005) interrogated the history of sociological studies, arguing that the disciplinary history has been shaped by the idea of race-or specifically Blackness-as a social problem. This could be seen in deficitbased research focused on culture of poverty (Lewis, 1966) or intellectual gaps (Loehlin et al., 1975;Lynn, 1991;Pasamanick & Knobloch, 1955;Peoples et al., 1995;Witty & Jenkins, 1936) that attempted to explain the problem of Blackness. The mark of these histories can still be seen in modern studies, for example, that focus on the "race gap" in educational outcomes (Bali & Alvarez, 2004;Brown-Jeffy, 2009;Mangino, 2013). ...

... These doctrines generally assumed that the different 'race' so defined could be hierarchically ordered and in that hierarchy the 'white' races were inherently superior to the 'non white' races. These theories of 'race', supposedly scientific claims, have been thoroughly discredited by modern biological science (for a sound discussion of this see, for example, Banton and Harwood, 1975;Husband, 1982). However, the act of classifying people according to discrete racial groups, and also inferring people's behaviour on the basis of specific biological properties, remains a great motivating force behind people's thought and action. ...

... Yet, here too, the mixed-race children had a higher mean IQ than did the children of two Black parents, and the means for each group were very similar to those for their respective counterparts elsewhere in the United States. The discussion in this section is particularly supportive of Loehlin's (2000) conclusion that "Research using larger samples and better techniques for estimating ancestry is called for and quite feasible" (p. 188). ...
