  1. Coded data quality control factors will be associated with some aspects of mode of marriage.Schaefer, James Michael - Data quality and modes of marriage: some holocultural evidence of systematic..., 1976 - 14 Variables

    Authors explore the problem of data quality control, systematic error and spurious correlations possibly caused by systematic errors in global cross-cultural studies. They offer a solution (the use of control variables investigating potential sources of systematic error) and apply the technique to a cross-cultural study of the substantive correlates of societal organization and modes of marriage.

  2. "[Mode of marriage is related to subsistence]: brideservice is related to hunting and gathering . . . bridewealth relates to horticulture, extensive agriculture and pastoralism . . . and dowry is related to intensive agriculture and industrialism" (177-188)Evascu, Thomas L. - A holocultural study of societal organization and modes of marriage: a gene..., 1975 - 2 Variables

    The author examines modes of marriage and societal organization from a functionalist (general evolutionary) perspective. He focuses on the relationships of subsistence (economic) patterns, settlement patterns, and social complexity to predicting modes of marriage, with particular emphasis on the importance of subsistence as an underlying structural influence upon social patterns.

  7. "Agricultural dependence is more likely to be found among societies with a fixed settlement pattern than among societies with a nonfixed or regularly changing settlement pattern" (231)Schaefer, James Michael - Sampling methods, functional associations and galton's problem: a replicativ..., 1971 - 2 Variables

    This study investigates the relationship between agriculture and fixed settlement patterns. The authors intend to examine the effects of sampling strategies and Galton’s problem on empirical findings. Neither of these factors affected the statistical relationship between agriculture and mobility.

  8. ". . . drunkenness . . . correlated [negatively] with [fixed] settlement patterns" (169)Schaefer, James Michael - A hologeistic study of family structure and sentiment, supernatural beliefs,..., 1972 - 2 Variables

    This study tests a broad hypothesis that alcohol is employed to relieve anxiety and feelings of powerlessness. Frequency of drunkenness and drunken brawling were associated with several variables, including supernatural beliefs, political systems, settlement patterns, and division of labor.

  10. Fearful supernatural beliefs will be correlated with extreme, aggressive drunkenneess (296).Schaefer, James Michael - Drunkenness and culture stress: a holocultural test, 1974 - 2 Variables

    This study tests cross-cultural hypotheses that predict the variables that lead to drunkenness. Previous hypotheses are reviewed and retested and control tests attempt to ascertain the adequacy of the cross-cultural method.
