Hypothesis

The negative association between marriage transactions and permissiveness toward female premarital sex will be more likely in societies in which adolescence ends early (117).

Note

The negative relationship between permissiveness toward female premarital sex and marriage transactions is significant in societies in which adolescence ends both early (p = 0.002) and late (p = 0.003).
