Abstract

This study provides a reexamination of research by Barry, Bacon, and Child (1857) and Barry, Child, and Bacon (1959) on subsistence type and child socialization. Many of the previous findings are not challenged, however a factor analysis indicates that the composite indices used by the original authors lack internal validity. Results suggest that, although previous findings were not entirely inaccurate, the original conclusions were overly simplified and misleading.
