Post by: justin762 on Dec 6, 2020
Why can WEIRD research participants be problematic?

▸ They are difficult to identify and therefore are under-represented in most research studies.

▸ They tend to score higher on extraversion and lower on neuroticism than the general population.

▸ Their behaviors and experiences are likely to be unrepresentative of human beings overall.

▸ They generally don't participate in personality research studies.
