Hypothesis
Pressure to conform (to obey, nurture, or be responsible) will be positively correlated with cultural complexity, and pressure to function independently (to achieve, be self-reliant and independent) will be negatively correlated (p.15-6).
Note
10 variables represented cultural complexity; 30 represented child-rearing. 58% of correlations were in the predicted direction, though not many were significant.
