WEIRD Psychology

Another tidbit from Haidt:

Most psychological studies are done on people who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic, or WEIRD for short. This has resulted in some profound selection biases, especially when you consider that an awful lot of subjects are students at elite universities, and hence the WEIRDest of all.
