How WEIRD are positive psychology interventions? A bibliometric analysis of randomized controlled trials on the science of well-being
Open accessAbstract
The past two decades have witnessed a rapid rise in well-being research, and a profusion of empirical studies on positive psychology interventions (PPIs). This bibliometric analysis quantifies the extent to which rigorous research on PPIs that employ randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reaches beyond Western Educated Industrialized Rich Democratic (WEIRD) populations. A search was conducted through databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus for studies from 1998 to 2017. In total, we found 187 full-text articles that included 188 RCTs from 24 countries. We found that RCTs on the efficacy of PPIs are still predominately conducted in western countries, which accounted for 78.2% of the studies. All these countries are highly industrialized and democratic, and study populations are often highly educated and have a high income. However, there has been a strong and steady increase in publications from non-Western countries since 2012, indicating a trend towards globalization of positive psychology research.

“For instance, Hendriks et al. ( 2019 ) conducted a bibliometric analysis that revealed a heavy reliance on data from WEIRD populations in well-being research, with 78% of the studies originating from Western countries.”
Xie, M., Mao, Y., & Leong, F. T. L. (2026) · PsyCh Journal · doi:10.1002/pchj.70121
“Subsequent reviews have confirmed that research on well-being continues to rely heavily on WEIRD samples, while non-Western cultural contexts remain comparatively underrepresented (Hendriks et al. 2019; Steger 2025; van Zyl et al. 2024).”
Positive Psychology and Psychology of Religion and Spirituality—Going Beyond the WEIRD Sample
Anczyk, A., Grzymała-Moszczyńska, H., & Maćkowiak, A. M. (2026) · Religions · doi:10.3390/rel17091085
“…https://doi.org/10.3390/rel17091085 Positive psychology appears to be somewhat less Western-centric than general psychology, but still heavily skewed, according to a bibliometric analysis of randomized controlled trials in well-being research conducted between 1998 and 2017 (Hendriks et al. 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
