Ember, Melvin"As for how warfare might affect residence, we found that matrilocal societies have purely external warfare (warfare only with other societies) much more often than patrilocal societies" (593)
Divale, William Tulio"Uxorilocal or matrilocal residence should be correlated with external warfare while avunculocal or patrilocal residence should be correlated with internal warfare" (297)
Ember, Carol R."Societies with purely external warfare . . . have smaller total populations than societies with internal warfare" (141)
Divale, William Tulio"Uxorilocal or matrilocal residence should be correlated with frequent external warfare while avunculocal or patrilocal residence should be correlated with less frequent external warfare" (297)
Ross, Marc HowardExternal conflict and violence, strength of cross-cutting ties scale, intercommunity marriage in decentralized societies, matrilocality, intercommunity trade, fraternal interest group strength in decentralized societies, polygyny, socioeconomic complexity, political power concentration, harsh socialization practices, affectionate socialization practices, and male gender identity conflict will be positively associated with internal conflict and violence (554)
