- Body Norms and Fat Stigma in Global Perspective (2011, background): “…response options because we wanted to compel people to make decisions on ostensibly judgmental items (e.g., “obese people should be ashamed of their bodies”), and the formal consensus model assumes that respondents will guess without bias when given dichotomous response choices (Weller 2007:344).”
- “Everything Is Perfect, and We Have No Problems”: Detecting and Limiting Social Desirability Bias in Qualitative Research (2019, background): “…bias in qualitative research may benefit from the integration of learnings from cultural consensus theories (i.e., theories studying cultural beliefs and the degree to which individuals know or report them; Weller, 2007) and integration with approaches to quantify and account for reporting biases.”
- Tools and methods in participatory modeling: Selecting the right tool for the job (2018, background): “Cultural consensus is a collection of analytical techniques and models that can be used to estimate cultural beliefs and the degree to which individuals know or report those beliefs (Weller, 2007).”
- How Many Interviews Are Enough to Identify Metathemes in Multisited and Cross-cultural Research? Another Perspective on Guest, Bunce, and Johnson’s (2006) Landmark Study (2017, background): “While sample sizes of 12–16 may be large enough for studies with homogenous populations on focused topics, it takes many more interviews to capture the views of populations with highly heterogeneous knowledge or opinions—as Weller (2007) and Galvin (2015) have noted.”
- Implicit Theories of Creative Ideas: How Culture Guides Creativity Assessments (2016, methodology): “The first study is an inductive one seeking to surface, without constraint, people’s implicit theories about what cues indicate creativity [following the recommendations by Weller (2007) and as done by, e.g., Atran et al. (2005) andKeller and Loewenstein (2011)].”
