Chaney, Richard P."No prediction can be made about the presence or absence of exclusive monogamy from the . . . information [bilateral descent-independent family-small household]" (1461)
Chaney, Richard P."Food production and social stratification do not, jointly, constitute a sufficient condition for the existence of monogamy" (1463)
Aberle, David F.[In matrilineal systems there is a] ". . . strong association of monogamy with matrilocality, as compared with other forms of marriage and other forms of residence" (719)
Osmond, Marie W."The limited family [nuclear, stem and lineal] is found with complexity of economy, of stratification, and of settlement pattern; this type of family is associated with monogamous marriage and small family size" (304)
Sheils, Howard Dean"The relationship of monogamy and independent families to societal complexity is more adequately described by a curvilinear model than by a linear model" (221)
Spiro, Melford E."Monogamy occurs primarily in a kinship-domestic configuration characterized by bilateral [descent]-independent [family]-small [household]" (1112)
Whyte, Martin KingPolyandry and monogamy will be positively associated with higher status for women than polygyny.
Goody, JackThe following variables are dependent upon diverging devolution (transmission of property to both males and females): greater control of womens' marriage (prohibition of premarital sex, endogamy, father's brother's daughter marriage, monogamy, alternative residence) and by extension Eskimo kinship terminology which isolates the sibling group form "cousins" (296)
Gouldner, Alvin W.Findings: Factor SC, "Sex Dominance", is bipolar. It loads heavily and positively (oblimax rotation) for matrilocal residence, monogamy, and more moderately for communal houses. High negative loadings are shown for polygyny, patrilocal residence, legendary heroes, and more moderately for government by restricted council (22)
de Munck, Victor C.Monogamy is more likely to be correlated with romantic love being a basis for marriage than other forms of marriage.
