. It is the standard method for most psychological studies of things like social cognition when you are not trying to look at something that is not age related. Why? Because it is the best representation of the rest of the population you will be able to get per unit effort. You dont have to call hundreds or even thousands of random phone numbers and get people to come in for a study with no compensation.
Is this genius describing a cheap date or good data?
A new University of British Columbia study says that an overreliance on research subjects from the U.S. and other Western nations can produce false claims about human psychology and behavior because their psychological tendencies are highly unusual compared to the global population.
...
“The foundations of human psychology and behavior have been built almost exclusively on research conducted on subjects from WEIRD societies,” says UBC Psychology and Economics Prof. Joe Henrich, who led the study with UBC co-authors Prof. Steven Heine and Prof. Ara Norenzayan. “While students from Western nations are a convenient, low-cost data pool, our findings suggest that they are also among the least representative populations one could find for generalizing about humans.”

when i saw this book in a chapters i found it inexplicably hilarious
possibly because of the juxtaposition of the friendly un-intimidating design of these books and a back cover talking about how god is dead and we are alone is amazing
but it was written by respectable people so it might actually be decent
understanding most philosophy is more about having teachers who already understand it boil it down into plain language than it is about close reading of the texts themselves, i find
Yes, her beauty gets Aladdin's attention. Welcome to Human Sexuality 101; Males. At least it was the beauty of her face, and not her tits and ass that did it.
uh at least it wasn't the tits welcome to SCIENCE! buddies
Sure, she probably falls for his looks somewhat (welcome to Human Sexuality 102: Females), but his actions also get her attention. (Saving her from being maimed even though he didn't have to, and using the claim of sister and not wife)
uhhhhh didn't have to that's nice of him
Yeah, she jumps at the chance to go for 'a ride' with him, but come on, ITS A FLYING CARPET.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh actually it's because she realises it's aladdin and not because she is so hot for cars she cannot contain herself (human sexuality 404: wimmin like cars as displays of power and resource acquisition)
She refuses to marry Jafar, and asks her father 'What's wrong with you?'. Questioning the Sultan like that could get you killed ya know.
if only the sultan wasn't a powerless idiot maybe her choices could have actual consequences???
