  3. "Extensiveness of menstrual taboos . . . correlates positively with the duration of the post partum sex taboo" (97)Stephens, William N. - The oedipus complex: cross-cultural evidence, 1962 - 2 Variables

    The author attempts to test the "Oedipus-complex" hypothesis--the psychoanalytic idea that under certain conditions (such as the long-post partum sex taboo) males are sexually attracted to their mothers and as a consequence certain fears and anxiety are generaated.

  4. "Stephens reports that the postpartum taboo tends to be bimodally distributed. On the contrary, degree of elaboration of menstrual taboos is associated with increasing length of the postpartum taboo" (104)Young, Frank W. - Menstrual taboos and social rigidity, 1967 - 2 Variables

    This study first reviews two explanations of menstrual taboos: taboos as an aspect of social rigidity and a psychogenic interpretation of menstrual taboos. The authors chiefly advocate a sociogenic explanation of menstrual taboos.
