  9. ". . . as industrialization and urbanization occur . . . 1) the number of parent surrogates is progressively reduced, 2) kin group demands are increasingly replaced by demands made on individuals by technological institutions . . . 3) grandparents come to be unable to serve as guides for children to the ethos and eidos of a culture" (155)Williams, Thomas Rhys - Kinship, kin groups, and socialization, 1972 - 4 Variables

    This textbook chapter outlines relationships between kinship and socialization. It also uses a three-point scale to describe the variation in enculturation processes for a sample of 128 societies. Without presenting a formal test, the author concludes that enculturation (as he measures it) is weaker in industrialized societies than in those without industrialization or urbanization.

  10. "Firstborn adult sons are more likely than average adult sons to have power or influence over other people, and they are more likely to head a kin group" (51)Rosenblatt, Paul C. - Birth order in cross-cultural perspective, 1974 - 3 Variables

    This study examines the consequences of birth order; results suggest that the firstborn child is more likely to have social authority as they grow older (they have siblings’ respect, they control property or head kin groups, etc.). The authors suggest that this authority may be legitimated by extra attention firstborns receive though elaborate birth ceremonies and teknonymy.
