As You Have Read in the Text, in Peer-Reviewed Publications

question 26

Short Answer

As you have read in the text, in peer-reviewed publications in leading academic psychological journals, more than 90 percent of research samples came from a small group of countries representing only 12 percent of the world's population. Do you think that the history of psychology too is painting an incomplete picture of world's psychological knowledge?
