The Effects of IQ Level and Sex on Divergent Thinking of Seventh Grade Pupils of Low,Average, and High IQ

Abstract

The study represented a systematic effort to alter attitudes by emphasizing recognition and evaluation of basic assumptions. It consisted of seventy-five college students enrolled in their first course in professional education. A semantic differential was administered at the beginning and again at the end of the spring semester, 1964-65. For ten of the thirteen concepts tested, significant differences were obtained, based upon the t-test for correlated samples.
