Hypothesis
Active high gods will be more likely in societies with patrilocal marital residence, patrilineal descent, and transfer of wife to husband’s group after marriage (321). This will be true when individually controlling for society size (jurisdictional hierarchy), stratification, region, and religion.
Note
All correlations tested separately. The high god variable was only signficantly correlated with marital residence and descent without controls. These tests used data from the Standard Cross Cultural Sample.
