Hypothesis

Inculcation for sexual restraint will be predicted by certain societal variables (164).

Note

Inculcation for sexual restraint is significantly associated with social stratification in both boys (r = 0.26) and girls (r = 0.27), and matrilineal descent in both boys (r = -0.18) and girls (r = -0.26).
