I'd like to add a short paragraph in the WEIRD section about WEIRD research in AI.
The challenges of WEIRD research appears in other research communities too. For example, one of leading venue in exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems’ (ACM FAccT) relies on WEIRD samples. An analysis of a sample of 128 papers published between 2018 and 2022, accounting for 30.8% of the overall proceedings published at FAccT in those years (excluding abstracts, tutorials, and papers without human-subject studies or clear country attribution for the participants) shows that 84% of the analyzed papers were exclusively based on participants from Western countries, particularly exclusively from the U.S. (63%).[1] 2607:FEA8:539E:5D00:BD21:4A43:1025:9812 (talk) 21:46, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
- This does not seem to have to do with psychology, but just research bias. Perhaps this could be added to the article ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency as a criticism section and/or added to the section Research#Bias.Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:52, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- This seems too niche for the Psychology article. I agree with Richard-of-Earth. Zenomonoz (talk) 05:42, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Freud edit
Hi Sxndrx2828, thanks for your edit. I did revert it due to some concerns about putting things in WP:VOICE, e.g. ‘brilliant’. See WP:WORDSTOWATCH and MOS:TONE.
Also, I’m a bit opposed to putting Freud above the ‘Beginnings of experimental psychology’ section. Freud is actually mentioned under the subheading below it ‘Consolidation and funding’. I’m not sure it’s due to have an entire subsection dedicated to Freud, who did not engage in experimental psychology, because he did not test his hypotheses.

Repetitive paragraph edit
The first paragraph under "History" (starting with "The ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece, China, India, and Persia ...") is repeated four paragraphs further down in the same section. The repetition should be deleted. ThorneHand (talk) 15:26, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Disambiguation edit
The disambiguation links are getting to be a little much. Does anyone think we might need a psychology disambiguation page, a single place to put all these links? Jcbutler (talk) 03:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
