Arthur Jensen

Arthur Robert Jensen (24. august 1923 San Diego, California – 22. oktoober 2012 Kelseyville, California) oli USA psühholoog.

Jensen oli hariduspsühholoogia professor California Ülikoolis Berkeleys.^[1]^[2] Jensen on tuntud oma töö poolest psühhomeetrias ja eristavas psühholoogias, mis tegeleb küsimusega, kuidas ja miks inimesed üksteisest erinevad.

Ta oli suur pärilikkuse positsiooni pooldaja geenide ja keskkonna debatis, st ta arvas, et geneetika mängib olulist rolli selliste käitumuslike seadumuste juures nagu intelligentsus ja isiksus. Ta kirjutas üle 400 teadusartikli^[3] ning tegutses toimetajana teadusajakirjades Intelligence ja Personality and Individual Differences. ^[4]

Jensenit on peetud viiekümne 20. sajandi tähtsama psühholoogi hulka kuuluvaks. ^[5] Tema tööd on tekitanud ka poleemikat, peamiselt järelduste tõttu, mis puudutavad intelligentsuse rassiliste erinevuste põhjusi.
