Reaching the Neglected 95%
LoSchiavo, Frank M.; Shatz, Mark A.
American Psychologist, v64 n6 p565-566 Sep 2009
Comments on an article by J. J. Arnett regarding the assertion that American psychology focuses too narrowly on Americans while neglecting the other 95% of the world's population. The authors' comments focus on why American psychologists have become overreliant on American samples, and they provide alternative suggestions for broadening the scope of American psychological research.
