Universalist approach

Addresses the methodological question: If one is serious about establishing universals in human behavior, how does one go about doing it? In serving the interests of anthroponomy, the universalist approach generally requires (1) a multimethod research strategy (looking for the convergence of results across disparate methodologies and procedures), and; (2) an adequate worldwide, cross-cultural sampling of all races, languages, ethnic groups, genders, and other significant variations relevant to the issue investigated.
