- Societies in which bride-price is the most important factor validating the marriage will be positively associated with matri-patrilocality (76)Wilson, Suzanne F. - Matri-patrilocality and the birth of the first child, 1975 - 2 Variables
The goal of this paper is two-fold: first, a review of some of the suggestions that anthropologists have made to improve classifications of residence is presented. Second, matri-patrilocality is examined in order to illustrate the importance of considering life cycle events in interpretations of residence patterns.

This article investigates residence, descent rules, and family structure. Empirical analysis suggests that they are associated with settlement patterns, particularly economic and demographic variables.

However, mother-child households are concentrated in Negro-Africa and in Negro tribes in the Cirum-Mediterranean (276-278)Murdock, George Peter - Settlement patterns and community organization: cross-cultural codes 3, 1972 - 3 Variables
