  1. "Communities composed of small families will have an elected (formally or informally) leadership significantly more than communities composed of large extended families" (159).Bondarenko, Dmitri - Family size and community organization: a cross-cultural comparison, 2000 - 2 Variables

    This study analyzes the relationship between communal democracy and family size. Results show a weakly significant negative correlation between communal leadership and family size. Authors suggest that this relationship could be challenged based on the known curvilinear relationship between family size and cultural complexity. However, several further tests suggest that there are grounds for maintaining that family size has some independent influence on the existence of communial democracy.

  2. Among state societies, those with extended family structures will be less likely to have democratic communal leadership structures than those with nuclear family structures.Bondarenko, Dmitri M. - Nuclear vs. Extended Family, Monogamy vs. Polygyny: Democracy vs. Non-Democr..., 2004 - 2 Variables

    Controlling for community type, the researchers examine a potential relationship between family size (nuclear vs. extended) and communal leadership (hereditary vs. elected) in an effort to suggest potential predictors of hierarchical structures in societies. They claim support for their hypothesis that societies with nuclear families will be more likely to have democratic communal leadership, across four different community types.

  7. Leadership will be positively associated with intelligence, knowledgeable men, polygyny, large families and more/higher quality mating opportunities.Garfield, Zachary H. - Evolutionary Models of Leadership, 2019 - 6 Variables

    Researchers tested four models of leadership for qualities and correlates that could predict the transmission of leadership cross-culturally. Researchers sampled 60 societies from the Probability Sample Files, coding for 24 variables. Support was found for the prevalence of the collective action model and the prestige model, with a lack of support found for the dominance leadership model.

  8. Nuclear families will universally provide a sexual function (127).Hendrix, Lewellyn - Nuclear family universals: fact and faith in the acceptance of an idea, 1975 - 1 Variables

    This paper examines Murdock's (1949) definitions and data pertaining to the universal functions of the nuclear family. The author asserts that Murdocks definitions and data are faulty and finds that Murdock's claims regarding the universality of nuclear families are unsupported.
