Hypothesis
Higher tightness in societies will predict higher synchrony of dress.
Note
Societal tightness positively predicts all the latent dress variables: 1). permanent adornment, standardization and rules; 2). non-permanent adornment, standardization; 3). clothing standardization and non-permanent adornment rules; and 4). rules about clothing.
