Associated Hypotheses (3)

Main AuthorHypothesis
Ayres, Barbara"Table X shows, however, that bride theft is most likely to occur in societies where the father's role is important' (248)
Ayres, Barbara"Bride theft represents a delayed and displaced acting out of the Oedipal conflict. Such conflict should be maximized in societies where the probablility of mother-infant seduction was high (mother-child households and mother-infant sleeping arrangements) and where the child's competition with the father was most intense (high father involvement in caretaking)" (248)
Broude, Gwen J.Four measures of primary feminine identification will be associated with female control of resources (158).
