Hypotheses
- "[There is] a relationship . . . between Iroquois and preferential bilateral cross-cousin marriage, since Iroquois terminology tends to be associated with weak matrilineality and patrilineality and therefore with societies which . . . tend to be bipotestal" (138)Coult, Allan D. - Terminological correlates of cross-cousin marriage, 1965 - 2 Variables
This study examines Crow and Omaha kinship terminologies, cross-cousin marriage practices, and descent rules. Several hypotheses relating these three variables are tested.

This book examines male and female power in various kinship configurations. Variables for male dominance and female autonomy are associated with various political and social variables, such as political complexity and co-wife jealousy. Several hypotheses are supported.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - "There is a strong tendency . . . for some social objects (nieces and daughters) to be undifferentiated by the culture's language, where child rearing practices typically keep the mother and child in close contact. Conversely, where early separation does occur, greater linguistic discrimination is the rule" (114)Zern, David - The relationship between mother/infant contact and later differentiation of ..., 1972 - 2 Variables
This study examines the relationship between mother absence in child rearing and kinship terminology, particularly the differentiation of daughters and nieces. A significant association is found and the author offers theories of causality in both directions.
