We present measurements of the redshift--space three-point correlationfunction of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). For the firsttime, we analyze the dependence of this statistic on galaxy morphology, colorand luminosity. In order to control systematics due to selection effects, weused $r$--band, volume-limited samples of galaxies, constructed from themagnitude-limited SDSS data ($14.5
