What's Wrong w/ WEIRD science (Western Educated Indistrialized Rich Democratic)

Send us Fan MailToday we confront the stark reality that our understanding of human behavior could be deeply skewed. With an overwhelming majority of psychological studies based on a narrow demographic slice of humanity, the WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) bias raises profound questions about the universality of research findings. Then, we navigate the intimate and often controversial realm of parenting, where the choice between co-sleeping and bed-sharing stirs passionate debate among parents and experts alike. I examine a meta-review, dissecting the nuanced advantages and potential hazards linked to these practices. We take a close look at how factors such as socioeconomics and cultural norms shape parental decision-making and, consequently, child development.Bringing in perspectives from various cultures, including the Aka tribe's unique childcare approaches, this episode offers an eye-opening contemplation on the deep-seated need for physical connection in rearing our young. Support the showMusic by WutaboiEmail us at [email protected] Buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/owlmedicine Social MediaFacebook: www.facebook.com/owlcmedicineInstagram: www.instagram.com/owlcmedicine My Websiteswww.owlchrysalismedicine.comwww.decolonizehealthcare.comwww.rethinkingbroken.com#rethinkingbroken #CPTSD#chronicstressadapted #ComplexPTSD#childhoodtrauma #Authorpodcast #bestsellingauthor #queerauthor#adhd #dyslexia #dyscalclia #Queer #queerpodcast #queerhost#adultswithadhd #veteran #therapist #nonfictionauthor #traumaauthor#undiagnisedadhd  #childhoodtrauma #trauma #lifeaftertrauma  #PTSD
