  1. The extent of problem score (i.e. problems caused by alcoholism) will be positively associated with alcohol consumption and approval of drunkenness and negatively associated with integration of drinking (57, 60).Whitehead, Paul C. - Explaining alcoholism: an empirical test and reformation, 1974 - 4 Variables

    This article examines a hypothesis that associates alcoholism with the structure and quality of social norms related to drinking. Analysis yields little support for this hypothesis, but the amount of alcohol consumed by members of the society emerges as an important predictive variable. A new theory of alcoholism that takes this variable into account is discussed.

  2. "Societies without evidence of a sex difference [in drinking] tended to be higher in hostility change, in sociability intensity, availability of alcoholic beverages, procurement effort and extent of problem" (57)Child, Irvin L. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: iii. sex differences, 1965 - 6 Variables

    This study examines sex differences in alcohol consumption, suggesting that they are related to a nomadic or rural settlement, low accumulation of food resources, and strong child training pressure toward achievement. The authors suggest that societal norms often limit drunkenness in women because women's responsibilities (such as childcare) would deter incapacity due to intoxication.

  3. "Factor II, Inebriety, is primarily weighted on: quantity consumed on one occasion, duration of drinking episode, frequency of drunkenness, approval of drunkenness, and boisterousness" (27)Child, Irvin L. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: i. descriptive measurements of drinking..., 1965 - 6 Variables

    Factor analysis is employed to examine variables related to alcohol consumption. Hypotheses related to the integration of drinking, inebriety, aggression while intoxicated, and quantity of drinking are examined.

  4. "Societies with a definite sex difference were preponderantly higher than those without evidence of a sex difference in frequency of ceremonial drinking and tended to be higher in frequency of religious drinking and in approval of drinking" (57)Child, Irvin L. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: iii. sex differences, 1965 - 4 Variables

    This study examines sex differences in alcohol consumption, suggesting that they are related to a nomadic or rural settlement, low accumulation of food resources, and strong child training pressure toward achievement. The authors suggest that societal norms often limit drunkenness in women because women's responsibilities (such as childcare) would deter incapacity due to intoxication.

  5. "Factor IV, Quantity [of drinking], is primarily weighted on: general consumption, frequency of drinking, procurement effort, extent of problem" (27)Child, Irvin L. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: i. descriptive measurements of drinking..., 1965 - 5 Variables

    Factor analysis is employed to examine variables related to alcohol consumption. Hypotheses related to the integration of drinking, inebriety, aggression while intoxicated, and quantity of drinking are examined.

  6. There will be a negative association between alcoholism and ceremonial drinking (32).Klausner, Samuel Z. - Sacred and profane meanings of blood and alcohol, 1964 - 2 Variables

    This study examines a hypothesis that ceremonial drinking is negatively associated with heavy secular drinking. Empirical analysis does not support this association, and the author proposes an alternative theory of alcohol consumption and the problem of evil. Hypotheses relating alcohol consumption to menstrual taboos and the uses of blood in society are supported.

  7. ". . . there is no relationship . . . [between] frequency of drunkenness . . . [and] all measures related to integrated drinking" (39)Bacon, Margaret K. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: ii. relations to other features of culture, 1965 - 2 Variables

    This study explores cultural variables associated with frequency of drunkenness and ceremonial drinking. Particular attention was paid to childhood socialization variables, as well as politcal and social organization. Results show a low correlation between frequency of drunkenness and frequency of ceremonial drinking, and various other variables are associated with each.

  8. "Among the societies with aboriginal drinking frequency of drunkenness was positively correlated with frequency of ceremonial drinking." (459)Barry III, Herbert - Sociocultural aspects of alcohol addiction, 1968 - 2 Variables

    This article examines cultural variation in alcoholism with a particular focus on the role of imperialist contact. Cultural prohibition of alcohol and child-rearing variables are also considered. Several hypotheses are supported.

    This study examines sex differences in alcohol consumption, suggesting that they are related to a nomadic or rural settlement, low accumulation of food resources, and strong child training pressure toward achievement. The authors suggest that societal norms often limit drunkenness in women because women's responsibilities (such as childcare) would deter incapacity due to intoxication.

  10. "Societies with a definite sex difference [in drinking alcohol tend to be societies where] alcohol was used aboriginally rather than being use postcontact" (56)Child, Irvin L. - A cross-cultural study of drinking: iii. sex differences, 1965 - 2 Variables

    This study examines sex differences in alcohol consumption, suggesting that they are related to a nomadic or rural settlement, low accumulation of food resources, and strong child training pressure toward achievement.
