Bobby K. Cheon, Nanyang Assistant Professor of Psychology, NTU, presented a webinar titled "Assumptions of Generalizability of Study Findings to Human Nature Based on Sample Origins". He discussed the argument that data collected from samples in USA as compared to other regions are White-American centric as they regarded minorities as exceptions which resulted in biased assumptions of the psychological and behavioural experiences of (White-) Americans as especially reflective of the human population.
