Summary:
Non-random sampling. … a nonrandom sample tells us about a population, but we don’t know how precisely: we can’t determine a margin of error or a confidence level. A lot of mistakes occur from generalizing special cases. This tendency to overgeneralize, along with the tendency to absolutize, often infects formulation of assumptions in "scientific" modeling.econintersectYou Can't Characterize Human Nature If Studies Overlook 85 Percent Of People On Earth Daniel Hruschka | Professor and Associate Director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change , Arizona State University Originally published at The Conversation
