Abstract
A detailed examination of the reanalysis by Lidz and associates of tabulated data from the original adoption study reports substantiates only one of their objections. Because of the way in which the original data were gathered, the reanalysis is without substantial merit in evaluating the adoption study.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
