Mental Differences In Certain Immigrant Groups (1922)

By Kimball Young

Book Overview

""Mental Differences in Certain Immigrant Groups"" is a book published in 1922 by authors Young and Kimball. The book explores the mental differences among various immigrant groups in the United States, specifically focusing on the differences between the mental abilities of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe compared to those from northern and western Europe. The authors analyze data from intelligence tests given to immigrants at Ellis Island and other ports of entry, as well as data from schools and other institutions. The book also examines the impact of environmental factors such as education, occupation, and social status on the mental abilities of different immigrant groups. The authors conclude that there are significant differences in mental abilities among different immigrant groups and that these differences are largely due to genetic factors. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and has since been criticized for its racist and discriminatory views.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
