Behavioural science and policy: where are we now and where are we going? (2018, background): “As Henrich et al. (2010) noted, most people in the world are not ‘WEIRD’ – Western, educated, industrialised, rich and developed – but a large proportion of the people who apply behavioural science are (as are the subjects of their studies).”
Why Psychologists Should by Default Use Welch's t-test Instead of Student's t-test with Unequal Group Sizes (2017, background): “In their review of comparing psychological findings from all fields of the behavioral sciences across cultures, Henrich, Heine, and Norenzayan (2010) suggest that parameters vary largely from one population to another.”
Perseverance Counts but Consistency Does Not! Validating the Short Grit Scale in a Collectivist Setting (2016, background): “As Henrich et al. (2010) argued, there is a need to practice caution in generalizing results of Western empirical studies in nonWEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) contexts, it is important to validate Grit-S in a collectivist culture.”
Headphone screening to facilitate web-based auditory experiments (2017, background): “Experiments may also require recruiting participants from disparate cultural backgrounds (Curtis and Bharucha, 2009; Henrich et al., 2010) that are more readily recruited online than in person.”
Constraints on Generality (COG): A Proposed Addition to All Empirical Papers (2017, neutral): “…identification of the parameters critical for observing an effect (e.g., Brandt et al., 2014; Clark, 1973; Greenwald, Pratkanis, Leippe, & Baumgardner, 1986; Henrich et al., 2010; Kukull & Ganguli, 2012; Shoda, Wilson, Whitsett, Lee-Dussud, & Zayas, 2014; Simons, 2014; Wells & Windschitl, 1999).”
Intersectional HCI: Engaging Identity through Gender, Race, and Class (2017, background): “And yet, providing that contextual information matters given the cultural diversity of users [52].”
