Richard A. Weinberg
Richard A. Weinberg is an American
psychology professor.
For most of his career, Weinberg has taught at
University of Minnesota after earning his Ph.D there in
1968. He is known for his
Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study with
Sandra Scarr. This study concluded that "rather than the home environment having a cumulative impact across development, its influence wanes from early childhood to adolescence." This work is frequently cited in debates about
race and intelligence.
Weinberg has served on the Board of Directors of the
American Psychological Association and the
American Psychological Society.
