ABSTRACT

In an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world, the internationalisation of Eurocentric psychology is not a new venture. With its early beginnings in Europe and subsequent evolution in the USA, the discipline has largely relied on Western, educated, industrialised, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) samples to develop the distinct discipline we know of as psychology today. The world has likewise eagerly engaged with WEIRD psychology, voraciously consuming the discipline’s knowledge, methods, and applications. This is evident in many countries across the Asia-Pacific region. Aotearoa New Zealand is one such nation.
