A

predicting life outcomes

help in decision making

22
Q

intelligence tests

predicting life outcomes

A

job performance
academic achievement
income

23
Q

intelligence tests

help in decision making

A

education+clinical

24
Q

intelligence+predictive validity

A
correlates IQ score with outcome scores e.g. job performance
criterion validity (job performance) predicts capability of predictor (IQ)
25
IQ and academic achievement
general intelligence predicts good grades | study found correlation of 0.54
26
intelligence +work | IQ is predictive of job performance
correlation of 0.40-0.74 IQ shares aspects of learning which is part of doing a job well IQ relates to handling complex information
27
Intelligence+income
correlated at 0.20 get higher salary for better quality work IQ could influence further education choices
28
IQ and health | overall
IQ negatively correlated with early mortality+morbidity factors Danish study- found childhood IQ negatively correlated with coronary heart disease in adulthood
29
IQ and health | why is there a negative correlation?
disease prevention-IQ leads to healthier lifestyle disease management- IQ allows for better disease management e.g. taking pills disease avoidance- IQ leads to avoiding unhealthy environments
30
IQ and obesity
low IQ seen at childhood seen obese as adults
31
IQ and mortality
a meta analysis showed as IQ increased by 1 SD, mortality decreased by 24%
32
