  1. By combining both community and consanguine endogamy, achieving a maximum of conjunctive affiliation, societies should have a strengthened association with low divorce rate. The reverse should be true for societies with combined community and consanguine exogamy (473)Ackerman, Charles - Affiliations: Structural Determinants of Differential Divorce Rates, 1963 - 2 Variables

    Ackerman performs a cross-cultural analysis on the structural determinants of divorce rate as originally hypothesized by Max Gluckman and elaborated on by other researchers. Ackerman's results suggest that when spouses share a network of affiliation, divorce rates are low; when spouses maintain separate affiliations, divorce rates are high. Ackerman's statistical analysis and discussion provide an explanatory framework for further research.

  4. In bilateral societies a combination of community and consanguine endogamy and exogamy are associated. In lineal societies, the levirate will predict low divorce rates. (p. 476)Ackerman, Charles - Conjunctive Affiliation and Divorce, 1968 - 2 Variables

    Sampling 62 societies from the HRAF database (32 bilateral, 21 patrilineal, 6 matrilineal, and 3 double-unilineal societies)the author asks whether divorce rates can be predicted by the descent systems or the network of marriage affiliations. Findings do not support the theory that divorce rates will be predicted by descent (patrilineal vs bilateral) - but they are more consistent with the idea that conjunctive affiliations are predictive of low divorce rates in bilateral societies. In lineal societies the levirate is used as an indicator.

  7. Conjugal instability will be related to uterine biases in the flow of altruism (448).Flinn, Mark V. - Uterine vs. agnatic kinship variability and associated cousin marriage prefe..., 1981 - 2 Variables

    This study discusses many variables that may influence the direction of altruism within a family. Significant relationships were found between paternity certainty, conjugal instability, marital residence, cross-cousin marriage preferences, and direction of altruistic behavior. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of the mother's brother.

  8. ". . . a widow is likely to marry the son of her husband by another wife or the son of her husband's brother where descent is patrilineal, or the sister's son of her husband under matrilineal descent. . . . a man [is likely to choose] a close unilinear relative [of his first wife]" (271)Murdock, George Peter - Social structure, 1949 - 2 Variables

    This book is a comprehensive analysis of many aspects of social structure including family, clan, community, kinship terminology, social organization, regulation of sex, incest taboos, and sexual choice.

  9. Female status will be positively associated with divorce rate (378, 381)Pearson, Jr., Willie - Divorce and the status of women, 1979 - 2 Variables

    This paper reports on a cross-cultural test of the theory that higher status of women causes higher divorce rates. This theory has typically been expressed in terms of variations in family authority or in terms of women's economic opportunities (375).

  10. The rate of remarriage will be more strongly associated with tie-breaking customs where levirate remarriage is practiced (219).Rosenblatt, Paul C. - Breaking ties with deceased spouse, 1976 - 3 Variables

    This paper examines death customs meant to break ties with a deceased spouse. The authors propose that remarriage rates are higher where these tie-breaking customs are practiced and that this association is stronger where sororate or levirate remarriage is practiced. Empirical support is found for these hypotheses.
