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

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.

I like this but I think at best it reveals what the first reg more or less confirms (association btwn IQ and perceived discrimination).
-
But if we want to know whether lower IQ causes discrimination I think it has to be probed a diff way. Rough example: give respondents a
-
passage "written by" a representative of each SIRE/skin_tone category and vary this passage in terms of quality (keeps content constant)
-
then ask respondents to rate IQ of passage authors and likelihood of engagement in stereotypical behavior by authors. Check for correlation.
-
Perhaps probe respondents further to see if they would treat authors differently based on their perception of conformity to stereotypes
-
Hypothesis: perception of low IQ causes ppl to anticipate that individual conforms to neg stereotypes, leading to discriminatory treatment.
-
This could "explain" the nature of that association we observe in the first regression results.
-
This approach doesn't work because stereotype accuracy colors the prior for SIRE groups differently.
