Bogudgivelse af Edward Baggs

Edward Baggs, der er adjunkt ved ISKHK samt DIAS fellow, har netop fået udgivet Psychology's WEIRD Problems i serien Cambridge Elements fra Cambridge University Press sammen med Guilherme Sanches de Oliveira.

 
Summary:

Psychology has a WEIRD problem. It is overly reliant on participants from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic societies. Over the last decade this problem has come to be widely acknowledged, yet there has been little progress toward making psychology more diverse. This Element proposes that the lack of progress can be explained by the fact that the original WEIRD critique was too narrow in scope. Rather than a single problem of a lack of diversity among research participants, there are at least four overlapping problems.
