The weirdest people in the world?

THE FOUNDING NUMBERS AS PUBLISHED, section 2.1: 'A recent analysis of the top journals in six subdisciplines of psychology from 2003 to 2007 revealed that 68% of subjects came from the United States, and a full 96% of subjects were from Western industrialized countries, specifically those in North America and Europe, as well as Australia [and one further country] (Arnett 2008).' Then: '73% of first authors were at American universities, and 99% were at universities in Western countries. This means that 96% of psychological samples come from countries with only 12% of the world's population.' And, SEPARATELY, the undergraduate count: 'In the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology ... 67% of the American samples (and 80% of the samples from other countries) were composed solely of undergraduates in psychology courses (Arnett 2008). In other words, a randomly selected American undergraduate is more than 4,000 times more likely to be a research participant than is a randomly selected person from outside of the West.' NOTE WHAT THIS SETTLES: there are two counts of two different things, and both are attributed to Arnett 2008 in the sentence that reports them, so the paper's headline statistic is a secondary citation. Also in the paper: 70 per cent of all psychology citations come from the United States against 37 per cent
