Poster: End-User Programming is WEIRD

End-user programming (EUP) gives ordinary computer users the ability to create and modify software on their own. However, we suspect that most developments in EUP are based on the preferences of WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, and Democratic) populations. Only 15% of the world's population live in WEIRD nations and therefore any WEIRD bias in EUP research and tools potentially excludes the vast majority of the people from reaping its benefits. Therefore, to investigate the existence and the nature of any WEIRDness bias in EUP, we conducted a systematic mapping study of the research papers (N=217) published on EUP since 2019. Our results suggest that EUP research is WEIRD in three ways, namely researcher diversity, research participant diversity, and the application domains the research caters to. We discuss the implications of these findings and suggest ways to improve the current situation.
