I wonder if this is the same for people who haven't grown up with linear media (books with chapters, shows with episodes/chapters, albums with songs etc) I always think of the WEIRD people nuance when reading about these kinds of findings. Is the study cohort - Western - Educated - Independent - Rich - Democratic ?

As most of the readers are also WEIRD, the results would still be relevant even if the scope was limited to that.

Oh absolutely! The WEIRD "assumption" is basically a description of "the west"
