Hypotheses
- There will be a relationship between the traditional presence of a segmentary lineage system and the presence and intensity of conflictMoscona, Jacob - Social structure and conflict: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa, 2017 - 8 Variables
Using a sample of 145 African societies, the authors seek to examine the relationship between segmentary lineage organization and conflict. Presented is evidence supporting the claim that segmentary lineage societies are more prone to conflict and to conflicts larger in scale and duration. The authors aim to contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of conflict, and additionally address the applicability of the present study beyond Africa.

However . . . there may be a relationship between cultural exchange and territorial gain" (339-340)Naroll, Raoul - Military deterrence in history: a pilot cross-historical survey, 1974 - 4 Variables
This book takes a cross-cultural, cross-historical approach to the study of military deterrence. Political, economic, and geographic correlates are considered, particularly military and diplomatic strategy. Several hypotheses are tested and some are supported.

Using a new measure called "territorial fractionalization" to indicate the extent to which traditional societies are split across current states, the authors of this study propose that fragmentation of ethnic groups and ethnonationalism is key to understanding civil conflict. They find that higher measures of territorial fractionalization significantly predict a higher risk of civil conflict, and that greater increases in territorial fractionalization also predict greater risk of civil conflict. These results hold for a global sample of data from 1945 to 2017, as well as in European and African subsamples dating back to 1886.

Thi study tests a hypothesis on the relationship between frequency of warfare and sociocultural development.
