Who Are You?

Try completing this sentence: I am ___.

If you are WEIRD, you probably answered with words like “curious” or “passionate”, “a scientist,” “a surgeon” etc ...

You were probably less inclined to respond with things like “Josh’s dad” or “Maya’s mom,” even though those are equally true.

This focus on personal attributes over personal relationships & inherited social roles is a distinctive feature of WEIRD psychology, but one that sets them apart from the rest of the world. Because most people think of themselves in terms of their social context rather than focusing solely on individual traits.
