  1. Frequency of internal warfare (between local communities within a unit of maximal political authority) will be negatively correlated with ritual art.Fullerton, Brady - Does Art Bring Us Together? An Empirical Approach to the Evolutionary Aesthe..., 2020 - 2 Variables

    In this study, the author empirically tests a formulation of Ellen Dissanayake's evolutionary theory of art, which argues that art evolved to promote group cohesion. The hypotheses derived from this theory and tested in this study specifically focus on ritual art and its relationships to various proxies for group cohesion such as community conflict and internal warfare. Results show that the presence of ritual art is significantly higher where certain measures of group cohesion are also higher (including lower internal warfare, lower conflict between communities of the same society, and lower frequency of violent conflict between groups within local communities).

  6. Unsegmented societies will have a lower frequency of warfare than segmented societies (51).Kelly, Raymond C. - Warless societies and the origin of war, 2000 - 2 Variables

    This book examines the difference between warless and warlike societies and attempts to determine the point at which a society becomes warlike. The author suggests that differences between warless and warlike societies are mostly organizational and hypothesizes that "unsegmented" societies, or societies that have a weaker sense of group identity and cohesion, will be more likely to be warless than "segmented" societies. Several tests are presented. Results generally support the hypothesis.

  8. Stable settlements contribute to an ability to sing together cohesively (188).Lomax, Alan - Social solidarity, 1968 - 2 Variables

    This chapter examines the relationship between social cohesion (measured using variables like subsistence type, stable work teams, and settlement patterns) and musical cohesion. All hypotheses are supported.

  9. Social rewards for warriors mediated the positive association between honor culture and intergroup conflicts.Nawata, Kengo - A glorious warrior in war: Cross-cultural evidence of honor culture, social ..., 2019 - 12 Variables

    Research sampled 143 societies from the Standard Cross Cultural Sample to test the relationship between honor culture, social rewards for warriors, and intergroup conflicts. Using mediation analysis based on multiple regression, and structural equation modeling, the research supported the theory that honor culture was positively associated with intergroup conflict, and that this relationship was mediated by social rewards for warriors.

  10. The frequency of rape and wife beating are correlated with warfare (2).Stone, Emily A. - A Test of an Evolutionary Hypothesis of Violence Against Women: The Case of ..., 2017 - 3 Variables

    This study investigates variation in rates of violence against women, primarily interested in two main hypotheses: the Culture of Violence Hypothesis and the Functional Violence Hypothesis. Using the SCCS along with variables from Broude & Greene (1976) and Ember & Ember (1992), the study concluded that warring societies were associated with a greater intolerance of rape, contradicting the Culture of Violence Hypothesis, whereas wife beating, as well as tolerance towards rape, increased with scarcity of women, in line with the evolutionary Functional Violence Hypothesis.
