Hypotheses
- "[There is] no relationship between punishment for sexual behavior and length of sex taboo in societies with monogamy and limited polygyny, but it does show a rather strong positive relationship between the two variables in societies with general polygyny" (121)Ayres, Barbara - Pregnancy magic: a study of food taboos and sex avoidances, 1967 - 3 Variables
This chapter attempts to explain why the number, importance, and duration of food and sex taboos during pregnancy vary cross-culturally. The author hypothesizes that differences in child socialization will be associated with differences in food taboos, and differences in sexual behavior and sanctions will be associated with sex taboos. Results support the hypotheses.

This study examines several correlates of the shape of floor plans of dwellings. Authors find that "whether a culture is settled or nomadic, the form of its family and the presence or absence of status distinctions are related to its house type, and the house types can in turn be inferred from the floor plan." Curvilinear houses are associated with polygyny and nomadism and rectilinear houses are associated with sedentarism, extended families, and status distinctions.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - ". . . Crow and Omaha terminology should be associated with matrilateral cross-cousin marriage, or, if these terminologies occur in the absence of such marriage, their presence is an indicator that such marriage was formerly practiced" (122)Coult, Allan D. - Terminological correlates of cross-cousin marriage, 1965 - 2 Variables
This study examines Crow and Omaha kinship terminologies, cross-cousin marriage practices, and descent rules. Several hypotheses relating these three variables are tested.

This study investigates previous findings that indicate precolonial centralization was beneficial for development in Africa. Using new survey data from public primary schools, the author shows that the failure of leaders of centralized regions to comply with federal regimes was punished with underinvestment in public infrastructure services, hindering development and limiting access to these services in recent populations. The author proposes that the extent to which precolonial centralization was beneficial for development in Africa is mediated by compliance of the local governing bodies with federal regimes.
