Genius Hari Ini, Dungu Esok Hari? Studi Awal Flynn Effect di Sidoarjo
ABSTRACT: The discovery
of the flynn effect (FE) (Neisser,
1999), i.e. the rising of IQ scores
between generations, has shocked many experts in psychological testing. Though
already detected in more than twenty industrial/developed countries, the cause
remains a mystery. This prelimi-nary study is keen to follow the IQ scores
of high-school students (N=969) in
Sidoarjo, to investigate whether the FE prevails in developing countries, as
well, especially in Sidoarjo, an industrial town, South of Surabaya. Results reveal
no FE yet. The possibilities of the differences between people of
industrial/developed countries and people in industrial but still developing
countries are discussed.
Keywords: flynn effect, IQ ,
