  1. Greater kinship system complexity is positively correlated with cousin marriage (10). Rácz, Péter - Social Practice and Shared History, Not Social Scale, Structure Cross-Cultur..., 2019 - 2 Variables

    Researchers examined kinships terminology systems for explanations regarding specifically observed typology of kin terms for cousins cross-culturally. They explore two theories, the first relating to population size via bottleneck evolution, and the second relating to social practices that shape kinship systems. Using the Ethnographic Atlas within D-PLACE, 936 societies with kinship system information were studied. The findings did not suggest a relationship between increased community size and a decrease in kinship complexity, however the research does suggest a relationship between practices of marriage and descent and kinship complexity.

  6. ". . . since Omaha terminology tends to be associated with patrilineality, . . . and since patrilineality is associated with patripotestality, then Omaha terminology should be associated with preferential matrilateral cross-cousin marriage" (137)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.

  7. ". . . 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.

  8. "The correlations do not support the hypothesis that the incidence of polygyny is positively assocated with the incidence of separation and divorce" (95)Nag, Moni - Factors affecting human fertility in nonindustrial societies: a cross-cultu..., 1962 - 2 Variables

    Focusing on 61 preindustrial societies that have information on fertility, the author asks what factors may explain variation in fertility, what devices are used to control fertility, and whether differences in fertility appear to be in line with the societies' environments.

  9. "Within the universe of matrilineal societies there is an association between Crow terminology and patrilateral cross-cousin marriage" (761-762)Eyde, David B. - Avunculocality and incest: the development of unilateral cross-cousin marri..., 1961 - 2 Variables

    This study investigates the relationship between Crow kinship terminology and avunculocality. Results indicate that if matrilateral cross-cousin marriage is associated with Crow kinship systems, then societies that are avunculocal are more likely have Crow systems.

  10. "Directness of aggression is not associated with other variables [of social structure] of size and complexity--such as degree of social stratification, class stratification, caste stratification, jurisdiction" (266)Allen, Martin G. - A cross-cultural study of aggression and crime, 1972 - 5 Variables

    The relationships of aggression and crime to variables of childhood experience, adult behavior, and social structure are cross-culturally analyzed.
