Editor's Notes
- Contested findings: studies are poorly done, intuitions differ, interpretations of findings differ Union soldiers: more diversity less loyalty Communities: more diversity less trust, voting, volunteerism, charity, school funding, census response rates
- How do we achieve cognitive diversity? Does it correspond to identity diversity? How do we make it function well?
- WHO ARE YOU… REALLY? Another important dimension of this: develop, educate, train… but 1) you’re not working w/clean slates in re racial attitudes and predispositions; 2) we have multiple selves, some better and some worse. Challenge is to develop and invoke that better self, those better selves.
- Race, ethnicity, gender. age, weight…
- Non-precocity as self-fulfilling prophecy Different opportunity costs of non-recognition as precocious for differently situated children Precocious children have greater long-term potential than ordinary children Brilliant mathematicians and scientists are “born,” rather than “made” The benefits of rewarding precocity far outweigh its (opportunity) costs “ Merit” is a function of what children have done
