What predicts self-reported discrimination? Not perceived race or skin tone, but IQ does. Add Health follow-up study http://rpubs.com/EmilOWK/add_health_discrimination …pic.twitter.com/NrrFJHuoji
I think we can also add an #aspredicted to this. ;) https://twitter.com/KirkegaardEmil/status/901943018760134660 … Predicted a total ~15 mins in advance it took me to write code!

@fsnole1 Which way does causality run? Are dumber ppl more discriminated against, thus leading to more self reported discrimination?
-
I.e. that ppl of lower IQ perhaps confirm negative stereotypes, and this results in worse treatment?
-
It seems reasonable to explore IQ*race interaction, to this end.
-
A reasonable counter-proposal. Results, however, are not very sensible.pic.twitter.com/shRuKbXdON

The beta for IQ is somewhat stronger here, but p>a due the model having too little free variation to estimate precisely (large SEs).
-
Ok, fair. But Im not sure this settles the question of direction of causality. That will perhaps require an additional study.
-
It could be done using an experimental setup where subjects are given ambivalent info and asked whether they were discriminated against.
-
Prediction here being that the less bright will be more likely to ascribe it to discrimination holding the ambiguity constant.
