Primes

• Ethnocentrism
  • The WEIRD-populations meta-analysis

    This sourceShows behavioral-science findings drawn overwhelmingly from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) samples (≈12% of population, ≈96% of subjects) often fail to generalize, exemplifying ethnocentrism in scientific theory-building itself.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Its abstract states that behavioral scientists base broad claims on WEIRD samples and implicitly treat them as representative of the species — the assertion's frame, without the word 'meta-analysis' or 'university student'.

    “Behavioral scientists routinely publish broad claims about human psychology and behavior in the world's top journals based on samples drawn entirely from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) societies.”

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
