This paper suggests that Fischer's (1961) "male security" variable is not adequate. Cross-cultural analyses suggest that male security in the realm of father-son interaction may be more important than male security in the realm of heterosexual interaction in explaining the line shape preference of a society.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Societies with predominantly circular houses will prefer curved lines in art. Societies with predominantly rectangular houses will prefer straight lines in art (745-746).Robbins, Michael C. - Material Culture and Cognition, 1966 - 2 Variables
This paper tests for a correlation between primary house shapes and preferences for curved or straight lines in art.

This study tests for a correlation between severity of socialization and style of art among a sample of nonliterate societies. Typical personality is thought to provide an explanation for these linkages.

This study examines several correlates of the shape of floor plans of dwellings. Authors find that "whether a culture is settled or nomadic, the form of its family and the presence or absence of status distinctions are related to its house type, and the house types can in turn be inferred from the floor plan." Curvilinear houses are associated with polygyny and nomadism and rectilinear houses are associated with sedentarism, extended families, and status distinctions.
