  1. Gerontocide will be associated with nomadism (515).Maxwell, Robert J. - Gerontocide, 1989 - 2 Variables

    This chapter examines correlates of gerontrocide. Previously suggested predictors, such as nomadism and harsh climate, were not found to be associated with gerontrocide, but data suggested that several other variables such as social stratification, subsistence type, and rule of descent, are significant predictors.

  7. "The esteem in which the aged are held in a given society varies directly with the degree of control they maintain over the society's informational resources" (381).Maxwell, Robert J. - Information and esteem: cultural considerations in the treatment of the aged, 1970 - 2 Variables

    This study examines the treatment of the aged in different societies. Support was found for the hypothesis that the amount information controlled by the aged is positively associated with the degree of esteem in which they are held by other members of the society.

  8. Variation in paternal care within a species will be correlated with variation in socioecological conditions (157).Katz, Mary Maxwell - The role of the father: an anthropological perspective, 1981 - 4 Variables

    This chapter examines the relationship between male parental behavior and influences of species, ecological and social factors. The authors first present a cross-phylogenetic perspective on paternal differences between species, then offer two quantitative studies: a comparative study of non-western human societies that correlates father-infant proximity with socioecological factors and another about father-infant proximity among the !Kung.

  9. "If treatment categories exist, then their distribution should be equal" (24).Glascock, Anthony P. - Social asset or social burden: treatment of the aged in non-industrial societies, 1981 - 1 Variables

    This article uses cross-cultural methodology to examine the classification and treatment of the aged. Results suggest that the combination of supportive/unsupportive treatment is associated with the intact/decrepit age grouping.

  10. "If explicit treatment of the aged can be determined from ethnographic data, these treatments should cluster into a limited number of treatment categories" (23).Glascock, Anthony P. - Social asset or social burden: treatment of the aged in non-industrial societies, 1981 - 1 Variables

    This article uses cross-cultural methodology to examine the classification and treatment of the aged. Results suggest that the combination of supportive/unsupportive treatment is associated with the intact/decrepit age grouping.
