Michael, I love the enthusiasm you demonstrate for students. When you suggested any non-US-centrism projects, it reminded me of that study I posted recently on TIPS. Admittedly, not a very strong study, but one that I always discuss in class because of the possibilities: IF it had been a more robust study (specifically: more subjects) might it have indeed demonstrated that "the squeaky wheel gets the grease"?
I'm referring to a study by M.W. deVries in 1984. The study was done in East Africa with the Masai. It was done in the Kajiado District.
