Hypothesis

Patrilocality will be positively associated with childhood gender inequality but not adulthood gender inequality (67).

Note

Patrilocality is positively correlated with both measures of child gender inequality (rho = .38 and .37). Adulthood gender inequality is not significantly correlated to patrilocality.
