WEIRD People vs the World

WEIRD people are the exception. Key areas of differences:

  1. Collectivism vs. Individualism: WEIRD societies emphasize individual goals & achievements, whereas the rest prioritize group identity: family, tribe.
  2. High vs. Low Trust in Strangers: WEIRD societies show higher levels of trust in strangers compared to the global average.
  3. Formal Rules vs. Informal Norms: WEIRD societies often rely on laws to govern behavior. In contrast to traditions.
  4. Openness to Novelty vs. Traditionalism: WEIRD populations tend to be more open to new ideas over preserving traditions.
