  1. "As the degree of governmental centralization increases in a civilization its creativity decreases" (184)Naroll, Raoul - Creativity: a cross-historical pilot survey, 1971 - 2 Variables

    This study investigates the causes of creative florescences in certain time periods in certain societies. Wealth, geographical expansion, democratic support, and external challenge were not significant predictors of creative florescence, but political fragmentation shows a correlation with society’s creativity level.

  4. "Each civilization has an optimum degree of challenge under the stimulation of which it is most creative; as challenge ranges upward and downward from this optimum, creativity decreases" (187)Naroll, Raoul - Creativity: a cross-historical pilot survey, 1971 - 2 Variables

Wealth, geographical expansion, democratic support, and external challenge were not significant predictors of creative florescence, but political fragmentation shows a correlation with society’s creativity level.

  5. Geographical factors do not promote territorial gain, considering strategy (the winning of entire wars) rather than tactics (the winning of a particular battle) (338)Naroll, Raoul - Military deterrence in history: a pilot cross-historical survey, 1974 - 2 Variables

    This book takes a cross-cultural, cross-historical approach to the study of military deterrence. Political, economic, and geographic correlates are considered, particularly military and diplomatic strategy. Several hypotheses are tested and some are supported.

  6. "Territorial gain proved unrelated to one-sided benefits [subsidy, women or honors conferred by one state on its rival] or trade.

  7. "We find no evidence that diplomacy . . . [furthers] the success of . . . states in gaining territory. . . . The only substantial relationship uncovered offers no comfort [to the hypothesis that diplomacy promotes territorial gain. We found that] the more territory a state is losing, the more active its diplomats" (point-biserial -.50, p = .01) (338, 339)Naroll, Raoul - Military deterrence in history: a pilot cross-historical survey, 1974 - 2 Variables

  8. "Our findings suggest that centralized states or those led by experienced rulers tend to do well in the game of power politics [i.e., gain territory], while hereditary monarchies tend to do less well, as do states divided by civil war" (340)Naroll, Raoul - Military deterrence in history: a pilot cross-historical survey, 1974 - 7 Variables

  9. "The geographical factors we studied have had little if any relationship to war frequency among the Conspicuous States we studied . . . .

  10. There are some indications that military preparation promotes territorial gain. Defensive stance correlated negatively with territorial gain, while quality of armed forces correlated positively. However, territorial gain showed no relation to border fortifications, and none to strength, mobility or prestige of armed forces (337)Naroll, Raoul - Military deterrence in history: a pilot cross-historical survey, 1974 - 7 Variables
