Helmuth Sørensen Nyborg (born 5 January 1937) is a former professor of developmental psychology at Aarhus University, Denmark and Olympic canoeist. His main research topic is the connection between hormones and intelligence. Among other things, he has worked on increasing the intelligence of girls with Turner's syndrome by giving them estrogen. His research has been widely criticized, and in 2007, after having been accused of scientific misconduct, he received a warning from Aarhus University for producing research of unacceptably low quality. In 2007 he retired. Nyborg is a controversial figure among the Danish public for his research on topics such as the inheritance of intelligence and the relationship between sex and intelligence. His article in ''Personality and Individual Differences'', in which he reports a 5-point average IQ difference in favour of men, has led to strong reactions in the Danish public and academia, for example in an editorial by the Danish newspaper Politiken.〔(Leder i Dagbladet Politiken: G for galskab )〕 A recent article proposing that migration from third world countries to Denmark would cause a dysgenic effect on the country's average IQ over time, has led to Nyborg being indicted to the Danish Council for Scientific Misconduct a second time, accused of committing scientific fraud by using statistic models of population growth known to be erroneous and for not properly attributing the source of the model. In his research Nyborg has argued that white people tend to be more intelligent than blacks〔Nyborg, H., & Jensen, A. R. (2000). Black–white differences on various psychometric tests: Spearman's hypothesis tested on American armed services veterans. Personality and Individual Differences, 28(3), 593-599.〕 that immigration from non-Western countries leads to a decline in the average intelligence of the receiving Western country〔Nyborg, H. (2012). The decay of Western civilization: Double relaxed Darwinian selection. Personality and Individual Differences, 53(2), 118-125.〕 and that atheists tend to be more intelligent than religious people.〔Lynn, R., Harvey, J., & Nyborg, H. (2009). Average intelligence predicts atheism rates across 137 nations. Intelligence, 37(1), 11-15.〕〔Nyborg, H. (2009). The intelligence–religiosity nexus: A representative study of white adolescent Americans. Intelligence, 37(1), 81-93.〕〔http://www.faklen.dk/faklen/01/race-l%E6re.php〕〔http://politiken.dk/indland/article80536.ece〕 On 31 October 2013 he was convicted of scientific misconduct by the Danish Council for Scientific Misconduct after a 2-year investigation concerning his paper ''The decay of Western civilization: Double relaxed Darwinian selection'' published in Personality and Individual Differences.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://emilkirkegaard.dk/da/wp-content/uploads/Nyborg-sag2-UVVU-afg%C3%B8relse.pdf )〕 ==2005 controversial paper== Nyborg's 2005 paper ''Sex-related differences in general intelligence ''g'', brain size, and social status'' 〔 〕 was published in ''Personality and Individual Differences''. Nyborg was suspended following criticism of his research.〔 Aarhus University assembled a committee to investigate, and found him innocent of fraud, but guilty of "grossly negligent behavior" and given a severe reprimand.〔 He was eventually acquitted by the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty of the charges of scientific misconduct and the university was forced to reinstall him to his chair. On 21 September 2006, the university gave Nyborg a "severe reprimand", revoked his suspension, and declared the case closed.〔Anders Frølund, (''Rector’s decision regarding the Helmuth Nyborg case'' ) Public statement by the university, September 29, 2006〕 According to a 2006 news story in ''Science'': "Colleagues from around the world have rallied to his defense, accusing the university of having political motives, and claiming that the errors in his research were trivial." After the DCSD cleared Nyborg of the charges of scientific misconduct, two Aarhus University professors, Lise Togeby and Jens Mammen resigned from their positions in the DCSD, citing that the DCSD operated from too narrow of a framework.〔(Disagreement regarding academic dishonesty ), 2011.10.03, au.dk〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Helmuth Nyborg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
