Lack of group-to-individual generalizability is a threat to human subjects research [Psychological and Cognitive Sciences]

Only for ergodic processes will inferences based on group-level data generalize to individual experience or behavior. Because human social and psychological processes typically have an individually variable and time-varying nature, they are unlikely to be ergodic. In this paper, six studies with a repeated-measure design were used for symmetric comparisons...
