  1. The presence of female controlled organizations and positions will be positively associated with socioeconomic complexity and negatively associated with external conflict and intercommunity marriage (843, 848).Ross, Marc Howard - Female political participation: a cross-cultural explanation, 1986 - 4 Variables

    This paper explores societal-level mechanisms associated with women’s participation in and exclusion from political life. Analysis suggests there are two statistically independent types of female political participation: involvement in decision-making and the existence of positions controlled by or reserved for women. Multiple regression analysis identifies several social-structural, psychocultural, and behavioral correlates for both types of female political participation and explanatory theory is discussed.

  2. Female political activity will be positively associated with internal conflict and warm/affectionate socialization practices and negatively associated with external conflict and fraternal interest group strength (843, 848-9).Ross, Marc Howard - Female political participation: a cross-cultural explanation, 1986 - 5 Variables

  3. Women's control of property (a proxy for their control of economic production) will be positively associated with indicators of high social status for women and negatively associated with indicators of low status (440).Hendrix, Lewellyn - Women’s status and mode of production: a cross-cultural test, 1988 - 2 Variables

    This article presents a materialist approach to the study of women's status. The authors test a Marxist-feminist theory which situates women's status as the end effect in a causal chain that begins with the mode of production and is mediated by the extent to which women control production. Results point to separate, rather than confounding, effects of these two factors on the status of women.

  4. Women's control of property will be positively associated with women's status (45)Whyte, Martin King - The status of women in preindustrial societies, 1978 - 2 Variables

    This book is concerned with explaining variation in the status of women. The author, after measuring over 50 aspects of status, first concludes that status is not a unitary concept. Therefore the author looks at 10 different domains of status. Many traditional explanations are not supported; most support is found for the influence of social complexity which generally lowers female status.

  6. Conventions that partition space in dwellings by gender are negatively related to women’s power in kin networks. (62)Spain, Daphne - Gendered Space, 1992 - 2 Variables

    In this study, the author examines how gender-segregated space may affect the status of women in nonindustrial societies. Specifically, the author examines predictors of women's status in kinship, inheritance, and labor. The author argues that the gendered partitioning of space contributes to the subordination of women cross-culturally because these practices limit women's access to information which men use to gain status.

  10. Patrilineality and male inheritance will be negatively associated with women's participation in religious rituals (54, 60).Fink, Virginia S. - A cross-cultural test of Nancy Jay's theory about women, sacrificial blood a..., 2004 - 3 Variables

    This article examines the restriction of women in religious ritual, focusing on cultural traits that favor men's power. Results suggest that patrilineality and male inheritance correlate with the restriction of women’s participation in ritual.
