A Survey on the Geographic Diversity of Usable Privacy and Security Research. (arXiv:2305.05004v1 [cs.CR])

In human factor fields such as human-computer interaction (HCI), psychology,
and behavioral sciences, researchers have been concerned that participant
samples are skewed toward WEIRD, i.e., participants mostly come from Western,
Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic societies. This WEIRD skew may
affect the generalizability of study results and hinder understanding of
diverse participant populations and their cultural differences. The usable
privacy and security (UPS) field has inherited many research methodologies from
research on human factor fields such as HCI. We conducted …
