Who is Richard Lynn? What is this journal's ("Personality and Individual Differences") political bent? J.P. Rushton an editor?

BTW, last week academic supporter of David Duke, Professor Glayde Whitney died. http://www.duke.org/awakening/index.html

Last week I was at the Univ of GA library and copied some review data on a number of studies of MMPI differences between whites and blacks in the US, which I've yet to have time to read.

Today's mail brought the V 32, No. 2 issue of _Personality and Individual Differences_ which contains a lengthy (43 pages) article by Richard Lynn "Racial and ethnic differences in psycholopathic personality" which might interest some list members.

Abstract This paper proposes that there are racial and ethnic differences in psychopathic personality conceptualized as a continously distributed trait, such that high values of the trait are present in blacks and Native Americans, intermediate balues in Hispanics, lower values in whites and the lowest values in East Asians. PArt one of the paper sets out the evidence for this thesis. PArt two applies the thesis to the unresolved problem in _The Bell Curve_ that racial and ethnic differences in a number of social phenomena, such as crime, welfare dependency, rates of marriage, etc. canot be fully explained by differences in intelligence and proposes that some of the residual disparities are attributable to differences in psychopathic personality. Part three of the paper integrates the theory with Rushton's r-K theory of race differences. ----------------------------------------
