  1. "Monogamy occurs primarily in a kinship-domestic configuration characterized by bilateral [descent]-independent [family]-small [household]" (1112)Spiro, Melford E. - A typology of social structure and the patterning of social institutions: a..., 1965 - 2 Variables

  2. "Food production and social stratification do not, jointly, constitute a sufficient condition for the existence of monogamy" (1463)Chaney, Richard P. - Typology and patterning: Spiro's sample re-examined, 1966 - 3 Variables

    This article suggests that Spiro's (1965) study on typology of social structure used a biased cross-cultural sample and possibly obscured regional patterns in data. Hypotheses related to marital structure, descent rules, food production and social stratification are tested.

  3. Spiro stated that food production and social stratification jointly comprise a necessary condition for maximum government. Although there is a significant relationship between the three variables (economics, government and stratification), no statement about necessary conditions can be made (1465, 1466)Chaney, Richard P. - Typology and patterning: Spiro's sample re-examined, 1966 - 3 Variables

    This article suggests that Spiro's (1965) study on typology of social structure used a biased cross-cultural sample and possibly obscured regional patterns in data. Hypotheses related to marital structure, descent rules, food production and social stratification are tested.

  4. "There is a significant relationship between [the variables food production and social stratification and between food gathering and classlessness] but no statement about necessary conditions can be made" (1465)Chaney, Richard P. - Typology and patterning: Spiro's sample re-examined, 1966 - 2 Variables

  5. "Although stratification as well as classlessness occur with minimum government, maximum government rarely occurs in the absence of social stratification" (1114)Spiro, Melford E. - A typology of social structure and the patterning of social institutions: a..., 1965 - 2 Variables

    This article attempts to construct an empirically-based typology of social structure. Marital structure, government, food production, and stratification are among the factors considered.

  6. Linear nomenclature for uncles will be associated with succession, financial consideration at marriage, marital residence, and household type (881).Farber, Bernard - Bilateral kinship: centripetal and centrifugal types of organization, 1975 - 5 Variables

    This paper describes a typology which is intended to indicate the kinds of family and kinship structures associated with the conflicting requirements of cohesion and differentiation of broader social structures.

  7. "When commonly polygamous co-wives dwell together rather than separately, then: [the culture disapproves of the use of cannabis]" (164)Blum, Richard H. - A cross-cultural study, 1969 - 3 Variables

    This chapter offers an exploratory study that examines the relationships between several culture characterstics, including child socialization practices, social structure, and food production, and mind-altering drug use in non-literate societies. All hypotheses were supported.

  8. Descent, marital residence, and kinship structure will be related to the degree of leniency in child socialization (873).Farber, Bernard - Bilateral kinship: centripetal and centrifugal types of organization, 1975 - 4 Variables

    This paper describes a typology which is intended to indicate the kinds of family and kinship structures associated with the conflicting requirements of cohesion and differentiation of broader social structures.

  9. Bilateral or ambilineal descent systems are likely to have less complex kinship systems than patrilineal or matrilineal ones (11).Rácz, Péter - Social Practice and Shared History, Not Social Scale, Structure Cross-Cultur..., 2019 - 5 Variables

    Researchers examined kinships terminology systems for explanations regarding specifically observed typology of kin terms for cousins cross-culturally. They explore two theories, the first relating to population size via bottleneck evolution, and the second relating to social practices that shape kinship systems. Using the Ethnographic Atlas within D-PLACE, 936 societies with kinship system information were studied. The findings did not suggest a relationship between increased community size and a decrease in kinship complexity, however the research does suggest a relationship between practices of marriage and descent and kinship complexity.

  10. "[There is easier divorce in] societies without monetary arrangements . . . in societies with extended family households . . . and in societies with matrilocal residence" (308)Minturn, Leigh - Cultural patterning of sexual beliefs and behavior, 1969 - 4 Variables

    This paper is concerned with the variation in sexual behavior in humans. Authors test hypotheses regarding the relationships between sexual behaviors and beliefs concerning sex.
