Further, she notes, "Every single campaign that did surpass that 3.5 percent threshold was a nonviolent one.

The authors pointed out that nearly all research in psychology is conducted on a very small subset of the human population: people from cultures that are Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (forming the acronym WEIRD).
