  1. Deep Christianization will be negatively associated with polygyny (195, 205).Korotayev, Andrey V. - Christianity and democracy: a cross-cultural study (afterthoughts), 2002 - 2 Variables

    This study proposes that polygyny, unilineal descent organization and large extended families could be regarded as universal negative predictors of communal democracy. Crosstabulations show that Christianity is positively associated with communal democracy and negatively associated with polygyny, and thus the authors suggest that Christianity influenced the development of democracy in Europe through its discouraging of polygyny and unilineal descent organization.

  4. Monopolization of politically important information is positively associated with physical punishment of wives (84)Artemova, Olga - Monopolization of information and female status: a cross-cultural test, 2003 - 2 Variables

    This study tests a hypothesis developed in a previous study (Artemova 2003). The authors analyze the relationship between the monopolization of politically important information and gender inequality. Sixty correlations are tested between measures of female status and an indicator of information monopolization; findings support the hypothesis.

  5. Monopolization of politically important information is positively associated with the informal influence of women (85)Artemova, Olga - Monopolization of information and female status: a cross-cultural test, 2003 - 2 Variables

    This study tests a hypothesis developed in a previous study (Artemova 2003). The authors analyze the relationship between the monopolization of politically important information and gender inequality. Sixty correlations are tested between measures of female status and an indicator of information monopolization; findings support the hypothesis.

  6. Polygyny will be negatively associated with democracy at the upper level of political organization (190, 202).Korotayev, Andrey V. - Polygyny and democracy: a cross-cultural comparison, 2000 - 2 Variables

    This study investigates the relationship between domestic organization (i.e. family structure and size) and democracy at both the communal and supracommunal levels. The authors suggest that the prevalence of independent monogamous families in Europe in the Late Middle Ages may have facilitated the political evolution toward democracy.

  7. Communities composed of smaller families, as opposed to larger families, will have elected (formal or informal) leadership.Bondarenko, Dmitri - Family Size and Community Organization: A Cross-Cultural Comparison, 2000 - 2 Variables

    The study examines the relationship between communal democracy and family size. The results indicate a weak significant negative correlation between communal leadership and family size. Even though the researchers suggest that the known curvilinear relationship between the variables could challenge this finding, further tests indicate that there are grounds for maintaining that family size has some independent influence on the existence of communal democracy.

  8. "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.

  9. 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.
