Besample

Besample is a new tool designed to empower social scientists to study participants beyond Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic (WEIRD) populations. Ninety-six percent of research studies only use American or European participants, which does not accurately represent the diversity of humanity. Besample provides a fast, reliable, and affordable way for social scientists to collect data directly from respondents in 42 countries across Africa, Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe.
