In the current assignment you will conduct a piece of research that examines estimations of IQ. Specifically, you are interested in examining whether males estimate their IQ to be higher/lower relative to females. Furthermore, you will be examining whether individuals estimate their father’s IQ as higher/lower relative to their mother’s IQ.
This study is based upon older work showing that males consistently rate their IQ to be higher than females and both sexes consistently estimate their father’s IQ to be greater than that of their mother’s IQ (Hogan, 1978; Higgins, 1987). You are examining whether these trends are still apparent in 2014.
