Ethnocentric sampling bias

Most of the well known psychological research reported from before the 1980s was carried out in American universities using White, middle-class undergraduate students who are hardly representative of anybody other than American, White, middle-class undergraduate students.  Therefore we have to question the findings of studies which attempt to generalise their findings to the population as a whole.
