  1. Greater male contribution to subsistence economy will be positively associated with male transvestism (308).Munroe, Robert L. - Male transvestism and subsistence economy, 1977 - 2 Variables

    This study examines the theory that transvestism is a way for boys to escape the male role. Munroe and Munroe use male contribution to subsistence as a new measure of a "rigorous male role." Findings suggest an association between male predominance in subsistence and presence of transvestism.

  2. "Societies that maximize sex distinctions will not have institutionalized male transvestism; conversely, societies that make minimum use of sex as a discriminating factor in prescribing behavior and membership will have institutionalized male transvestism" (88)Munroe, Robert L. - Institutionalized male transvestism and sex distinctions, 1969 - 2 Variables

    This study attempts to replicate earlier findings regarding transvestism using a larger sample and a different index of sex distinctions. It is asserted that societies that maximize sex distinctions will not have institutionalized male transvestism.

  3. There is a negative association bettween the presence of the couvade in a society and the frequency of male homosexual behavior (58).Gray, J. Patrick - Institutionalized male transvestism, the couvade, and homosexual behavior, 1984 - 2 Variables

    This study employs a psychological theory and builds on the holocultural literature on male homosexuality. Two hypotheses relating homosexual behavior among men to social constructs for sexuality (the couvade, male transvestism) are derived from a study by Munroe (1980). The hypotheses are tested and supported in a sample of cultures drawn from Munroe's codes and the Human Relations Area Files.

  4. Father-salience in infancy will be positively associated with the couvade (731).Munroe, Robert L. - A response to broude on the couvade, 1989 - 2 Variables

    This article investigates determinants of the couvade; the authors reexamine some of their earlier findings and also consider Broude’s (1988) response to their previous studies. Exclusive mother-infant sleeping arrangements, matrilocal residence, and “protest masculinity” (a concept suggested by Broude) were all found to be associated with the couvade. Father-salience in infancy, also suggested by Broude, was only marginally associated.

  6. Patrilocal residence will predict circumcision ceremonies and matrilocal residence will predict the couvade (626).Munroe, Robert L. - Male sex role resolutions, 1981 - 3 Variables

    This chapter discusses the predictors of the couvade and male circumcision ceremonies cross-culturally. New findings suggest relationships between these two variables and infant carrying practices, marital residence, and descent.

  8. "Societies in which mothers are highly salient to their infants as a consequence of being carried in close contact should also perform male circumcision rites or practice the couvade or both as a method of resolving or expressing sex-identity conflict" (626).Munroe, Robert L. - Male sex role resolutions, 1981 - 3 Variables

    This chapter discusses the predictors of the couvade and male circumcision ceremonies cross-culturally. New findings suggest relationships between these two variables and infant carrying practices, marital residence, and descent.

  9. Societies with close mother-infant contact and patrilineage will practice male circumcision ceremonies. In societies with close mother-infant contact and without patrilineages, the couvade will be present (627).Munroe, Robert L. - Male sex role resolutions, 1981 - 4 Variables

    This chapter discusses the predictors of the couvade and male circumcision ceremonies cross-culturally. New findings suggest relationships between these two variables and infant carrying practices, marital residence, and descent.

  10. Husband-wife aloofness will be related to hypermasculinity (177).Broude, Gwen J. - Male-female relationships in cross-cultural perspective: a study of sex and ..., 1983 - 2 Variables

    This study explores the extent to which heterosexual sex, love, and intimacy are interrelated and the degree to which the sexual revolution has had a positive or negative impact on male-female relationships. The author employs a correlation matrix to examine the interrelationships of several variables related to aloofness and intimacy in the sexual and non-sexual aspects of heterosexual relationships. Results suggest that the sexual revolution has had some positive effects on male-female relationships, but also that sexual behavior does not predict the degree to which marriages are intimate or aloof. Results also show little support for the hypothesis that marital aloofness is related to hypermasculinity.
