Papers that, for example, claim to test the non-construct of "WEIRDness" by averaging measures of the letters...have swwung big and missed already. That's averaging someone's Big 5 to see if they're a CANOE and, when the results are a mess, saying personality isn't real.

Does an appreciation of culture mean that you’ll expect EVERY effect to be different in different places? Of course not, not any more than an evolutionary approach implies universality in everything.

There are better and worse ways to test for universality/differences. One key, as is often the case, is to have some sort of theoretical basis for where you look (effects and samples). You’ve gotta map some dimension of culture to some construct you’re studying.

Perhaps counterintuitively, you can have a huge sample from lots of countries and still not have a good design to test universality/difference. You can have just a handful of sites and have a stronger test, if you’re matching things right.

Also, pay attention to the effect/pattern you’re investigating! Is religion a key construct? Find sites that vary on that: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0151 … Personality structure and niche complexity? Find data to test that:https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-019-0730-3 …

Have a good evolutionary theory that something ought to be more universal instead? Cool! https://www.pnas.org/content/114/8/1874.short … There ain’t a one size fits all answer to the WEIRD non-construct non-hypothesis and its falsifiability. Just more and less sophisticated way to ponder culture.

“Is WEIRD falsifiable” is IMO not a sophisticated way to think about culture. Or falsifiability. Bin that Q.

I'm trying to figure out how Hello Kitty makes Japan a Western country.

I don’t understand the question “is WEIRD falsifiable?”. What does that mean? It’s a very nonsensical sentence to me.

I thought the rest of the discussion was great, but agree that’s a really peculiar sentence
