The varied tone, ranging from critical to enthusiastic, underscores the multifaceted reception of the article, illustrating how users recognize the need for more inclusive psychological research.

InterestHigh interest

Posts indicate a high level of curiosity, with several users expressing eagerness to read the book or referencing its concepts directly.

EngagementModerate engagement

ImpactHigh impact

A strong consensus suggests that the research highlighted has substantially affected how individuals view the foundations of psychological studies and their applicability.

Abstract in brief

  • Behavioral scientists often base their findings on samples from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) societies, assuming these populations represent humans broadly.
  • Research indicates significant variability in human behavior across different cultures, suggesting WEIRD populations are outliers rather than typical examples.
  • The study calls for a reevaluation of how behavioral science is conducted, urging researchers to include more diverse populations to develop a true understanding of human psychology.

Finally reading Henrich's 'The Weirdest People in the World'. There's so much good stuff here, one of my favourites is looking at the differences between north (high blood donations, low cousin marriage) and south (low blood donations, high cousin marriage) Italy in 1995. https://t.co/CIJSIOf00h

Got friends into books like The God Delusion, The Righteous Mind, and The WEIRDest People in The World? Try Disbelief, which dives in similar waters! (& at times points out where their evidence is dodgy) Give you & yours the gift of science this year, nerds

People that spend all of their time on social media hating on Taylor Swift and Meghan Markle are the weirdest people in the world, and that's saying something in this current "weird as fuck" climate.

@agraybee It’s didn’t quite say that was the only reason, the WEIRDest People in the World does give great insight into why countries are poor and others are rich. And cousin marriage is part of that.

I got the idea while reading The WEIRDest people in the world, where the author makes the case that we've only recently started thinking in terms of "spending", "saving" and "costing" time, instead of something you can't control and it resonated.

@Lazartree @jeremykauffman The WEIRDest people in the World is a whole book laying out this thesis. Basically, the Church enacted a ban on cousin marriage up to 4th degree which completely modified the morals and psychology of Europe (individualistic, low corruption, high trust, delayed gratification)

Look there's not a lot of things weirder than "annual work conference comradery" Like, I meet the weirdest people in the world and three days later I would die to defend them, mostly on the basis of "they are not as weird as these other weirdoes who are also part of our basic vibe"

WEIRD: Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic Many health science theories are developed in WIERD societies which limits the validity and generalizability to diverse underrepresented populations. https://t.co/0zyQ0Yw053 https://t.co/PML6HNb2WB

@Evolutionistrue It makes perfect sense. Most of behavioral and cognitive studies focus on WEIRD populations. Furthermore, minoritized communities are the ones that need the most help from scientific research. https://t.co/CpHZpCMe5G

My guess is that there is a strong confounder for Western countries that is driving this. My money is on WEIRDness (see eg. DOI: 10.1017/S0140525X0999152X).
