  4. Menstrual taboos will be positively associated with female puberty rites.Kitahara, Michio - Female puberty rites: reconsideration and speculation, 1983 - 2 Variables

    Brown's (1963) three hypotheses on female puberty rites were tested. After presenting an adjustment for data quality control, the author demonstrates that Brown's (1963) relationships became insignificant. Female physiology as symbolized by menstruation is suggested as a better predictor for female puberty rites.

  10. Dependence on hunting as a source of food supply will be associated with menstrual taboos (902).Kitahara, Michio - Menstrual taboos and the importance of hunting, 1982 - 2 Variables

    This study suggests that animals' avoidance of human menstrual odor could be a factor affecting menstrual taboos in societies that depend on hunting. Results indicate a significant, positive relationship between dependence on hunting and menstrual taboos.
