Hypothesis
Seasonal time pressure--as indicated by number of dry months--will be associated with decreased female participation in agriculture (574).
Note
Correlation coefficient, Pearson's R=-.37 for dry months and female participation in agriculture. Multiple Regression: number of dry months was the most consistently replicable variable.
