Hypothesis

Inculcation of self-reliance will be predicted by subsistence activity (165).

Note

Inculcation of self-reliance is significantly associated with 'complex' subsistence activities (agriculture) versus 'simpler' ones (foraging, hunting and fishing) among both boys (r = -0.19) and girls (r = -0.28).
