  8. Penetrable walls will be more likely than impenetrable walls with increased proximity to the equator.Maxwell, Robert J. - Onstage and offstage sex: exploring a hypothesis, 1967 - 2 Variables

    The relationship between restrictions on premarital sex and the privacy of sexual practices is examined, using the degree of impenetrability of house materials as both a proxy and assumed cause for "offstage" or private sex. The author theorizes that permissive premarital sex norms are a response to open dwelling types which are themselves an adaptation to warm temperatures.

  9. Cultural continuity will predict features in vernacular house architecture.Dunn, Robert R. - Climate, Climate Change and the Global Diversity of Human Houses, 2023 - 5 Variables

    This study uses macroecological approaches to test the impact of climate, social environment, inter-group borrowing and cultural history on vernacular house architecture among 1140 societies. The authors suggest that certain features will be influenced: wall materials, ground plan, roof shape, and floor placement. They use mixed binary and multinominal regressions models to test these predictions. The results strongly support that climatic drivers, cultural continuity, and inter-group borrowing predict three out of the four features: wall materials, roof shape, and floor placement. Social drivers are a strong predictor of every feature tested.

  10. The use of private settings for sexual behavior will be associated with more restrictive codes of premarital sexual behavior.Maxwell, Robert J. - Onstage and offstage sex: exploring a hypothesis, 1967 - 2 Variables
