  1. Greater societal complexity and dynamic density will be negatively associated with severity of punishment of collective crimes (618).Spitzer, Steven - Punishment and social organization: a study of durkheim's theory of penal ev..., 1975 - 2 Variables

    This study empirically tests Durkheim’s theories of punishment in a sample of preindustrial societies. Analysis shows little support for five hypotheses derived from Durkheim’s theories. Findings indicate that in preindustrial societies, the intensity of punishment is associated with political integration, there are fewer collective definitions of crime, there is a higher likelihood of using material sanctions; additionally, slavery is likely to be an institutionalized means of punishment in societies with harsher sanctions.

  5. Rates of suicide will be negatively associated with organized priesthood (253, 262).Masumura, Wilfred T. - Social integration and suicide: a test of durkheim's theory, 1977 - 2 Variables

    This study reexamines Durkheim’s theory of social integration and suicide and tests for an association in a cross-cultural sample of pre-literate societies. Contrary to Durkheim’s theory, the author finds that suicide varies inversely with both social and religious integration. Results also suggested that suicide is negatively associated with a society’s ritual activity. Overall it is suggested that alienated persons in highly integrated societies will be at a greater risk of suicide than those in less integrated societies.

  8. Toxicity will be associated with levels of cassava consumption (p.105).Romanoff, Steven - Cassava production and processing in a cross-cultural sample of african soci..., 1992 - 4 Variables

    This exploratory study seeks to explain cassava production and processing in Africa by considering cultural, agronomic, and environmental data. After examining the descriptive results of the agricultural and social contexts of cassava use, the authors build upon Boserup's population density model (1965) to analyze their own hypothesized model of cassava's importance among the sampled societies.

  9. "Cassava will be more important where there are fewer food-getting strategies (less of a mix of subsistence strategies, wage labor, cash crops, government supplies, etc.); in turn food diversity will be positively associated with such cultural ecological variables as markets, access to markets, population density, and more elaborate technology" (p.101).Romanoff, Steven - Cassava production and processing in a cross-cultural sample of african soci..., 1992 - 7 Variables

  10. "Active male participation [i.e. father must aid the development of the fetus after conception by repeated intercourse, warmth of father's body, etc.] is believed necessary for the consequent physical development of the fetus [in societies with low menstrual taboo scores rather than in societies with high menstrual taboo scores]"Montgomery, Rita E. - A cross-cultural study of menstruation, menstrual taboos and related social ..., 1974 - 2 Variables

    This article explores biological, psychological, and social explanations for menstrual taboos. Attention is paid to the role of men in rituals associated with reproduction--i.e. before, during and after childbirth, as well as during girls' puberty rites.
