Abstract: | Suggests that under certain conditions, comparisons of majority and minority group regression lines for purposes of assessing test bias can be viewed as comparisons of conditional bivariate distributions. Under conditions of trivariate normality, findings should reveal parallel regression lines except for a special case. One implication is that even when the test is a parallel form of the criterion, lines with equal slopes but unequal intercepts should be found.
