Van Voorhees EE, Wilson SM, Calhoun PS, Elbogen EB, Beckham JC, Kimbrel NA. Sociocultural discourse in science: Flawed assumptions and bias in the CLASH model. The Behavioral and Brain Sciences. 2017 Jan 1; 40:e100.
In this commentary, we contest Van Lange and colleagues'' central claim that "countries closer to the equator are generally more violent." We point to the lack of credible empirical evidence for this assertion and suggest that the CLASH model uses the language of science to lend false credibility to a problematic sociocultural discourse.
