Hypothesis

In a multiple regression, paternal nurturance will predict female participation in community decisions (1084).

Note

A male dominated social structure is the best predictor of female participation in community decisions, however, external warfare and paternal nurturance predict additional variance in female decision-making, although these variables fail to reach significance.
