  1. Greater kinship system complexity is positively correlated with pastoralism (10).Rácz, Péter - Social Practice and Shared History, Not Social Scale, Structure Cross-Cultur..., 2019 - 2 Variables

    Researchers examined kinships terminology systems for explanations regarding specifically observed typology of kin terms for cousins cross-culturally. They explore two theories, the first relating to population size via bottleneck evolution, and the second relating to social practices that shape kinship systems. Using the Ethnographic Atlas within D-PLACE, 936 societies with kinship system information were studied. The findings did not suggest a relationship between increased community size and a decrease in kinship complexity, however the research does suggest a relationship between practices of marriage and descent and kinship complexity.

  6. ". . . since Omaha terminology tends to be associated with patrilineality, . . . and since patrilineality is associated with patripotestality, then Omaha terminology should be associated with preferential matrilateral cross-cousin marriage" (137)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.

  7. ". . . Crow and Omaha terminology should be associated with matrilateral cross-cousin marriage, or, if these terminologies occur in the absence of such marriage, their presence is an indicator that such marriage was formerly practiced" (122)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.

  8. "Within the universe of matrilineal societies there is an association between Crow terminology and patrilateral cross-cousin marriage" (761-762)Eyde, David B. - Avunculocality and incest: the development of unilateral cross-cousin marri..., 1961 - 2 Variables

    This study investigates the relationship between Crow kinship terminology and avunculocality. Results indicate that if matrilateral cross-cousin marriage is associated with Crow kinship systems, then societies that are avunculocal are more likely have Crow systems.

  9. "If the hypothesis that matrilateral cross-cousin marriage is a determinant of Crow systems is true, Crow systems should occur more frequently in societies which are avunculocal than do other systems of terminology" (759)Eyde, David B. - Avunculocality and incest: the development of unilateral cross-cousin marri..., 1961 - 2 Variables

    This study investigates the relationship between Crow kinship terminology and avunculocality. Results indicate that if matrilateral cross-cousin marriage is associated with Crow kinship systems, then societies that are avunculocal are more likely have Crow systems.

  10. "Crow terminology, since it tends to be associated with strong matrilineality and, hence, with avunculopotestality, should . . . be associated with preferential patrilateral cross-cousin marriage" (137)Coult, Allan D. - Terminological correlates of cross-cousin marriage, 1965 - 2 Variables
