Résumé

Les sciences comportementales prétendent mettre en évidence des aptitudes cognitives et des traits psychologiques universels. Cependant, leur recours quasi exclusif à des sujets WEIRD (c’est-à-dire : Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) biaise les résultats expérimentaux sur lesquels s’appuient principalement ces disciplines, parce qu’il est réducteur de la diversité culturelle humaine.
