Hypotheses (5)

HypothesisSupported
Strength of child training for responsibility and obedience will be positively correlated with accumulation of food resources (52-53).Supported
Strength of child training for achievement, self reliance, and independence will be negatively correlated with accumulation of food resources (52-53).Supported
Strength of child training for nurturance will be associated with food accumulation (53).Not Supported
Societies with high accumulation of food resources will have predominant pressure toward compliance, whereas societies with low accumulation will have predominant pressure toward assertion (58).Supported
Food accumulation will be more highly correlated with compliance than over variables such as size of settlement, degree of political integration, social stratification, greater part of women in predominant subsistence activity, polygyny, bride price and bride service, unilineal descent (59).Supported
