Hypothesis
Female political activity will be positively associated with internal conflict and warm/affectionate socialization practices and negatively associated with external conflict and fraternal interest group strength (843, 848-9).
Note
Other variables considered are socioeconomic complexity, concentration of political power, female contribution to subsistence, endogamy, male gender identification, and region.
