  8. "The largest proportion of high-sorcery societies is found among those in which plural wives live in the same house, and the second largest proportion is found where there is the mother-child household, which does not involve many persons under one roof but almost always involves polygyny" (44)LeVine, Robert A. - Witchcraft and co-wife proximity in southwestern kenya, 1962 - 2 Variables

    This article explores the relationship between polygyny and witchcraft accusations in three societies in Kenya. It is argued that the closer co-wives live (have adjacent houses, common yard), the more likely they are to accuse one another of witchcraft. The affects of household structure on population density and intra-household relationships are also discussed.

  10. The extent of problem score (i.e. problems caused by alcoholism) will be positively associated with alcohol consumption and approval of drunkenness and negatively associated with integration of drinking (57, 60).Whitehead, Paul C. - Explaining alcoholism: an empirical test and reformation, 1974 - 4 Variables

    This article examines a hypothesis that associates alcoholism with the structure and quality of social norms related to drinking. Analysis yields little support for this hypothesis, but the amount of alcohol consumed by members of the society emerges as an important predictive variable. A new theory of alcoholism that takes this variable into account is discussed.
