abstract="<p><br/>Several faults are found in the Hovland and Sears analysis of lynchings (see 14: 4177). The curves of Negro lynchings and of cotton values are not rectilinear, and the tetrachoric correlation of - .72 between deviations from the trends was distorted. Using trends which more closely fit the data, the product-moment correlation is .014. Deviations from the Ayres index trend correlate - .34 with deviations from the lynching trend (as compared with the tetrachoric r of - .65). The low correlation between economic frustration and aggression agrees with studies of British crime rates. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)</p><p />",
