>The above formula assmes that the relationship is linear Yes, I'm afraid so. Welcome to the simplified world of psychology:) We could test for other kinds of relationships. Maybe the key variable would be a difference between black and white ELOS (this would simplify our analysis). Then we could look for say, a logarithmic relationship between this difference and performance. e.g., from 0 to 100 point difference, you get big difference in predicted performance. In contrast, from 500 to 600 point difference, you get little difference in predicted performance.
