Abstract

In this study we test the alternative interpretation of the effect of sibship size on childs intellectual development through sibling analysis and analysis of repeated measures of the same individuals. Both analyses are variations of change models or fixed-effects models. Change models enable us to control permanent family effects including family socioeconomic status (SES) family genetic makeup and intellectual atmosphere in the home by `differencing them out. Thus we can determine if and how much the sibship-size effect is confounded by other family influences that are difficult or impossible to control in conventional regression analysis. The data are from the [U.S.] National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Also included are comments by Meredith Phillips (pp. 188-92) and D. B. Downey B. Powell L. C. Steelman and S. Pribesh (pp. 193-98) and a reply by Guo and VanWey (pp. 199-206). (EXCERPT)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
