Associated Hypotheses (18)

Main AuthorHypothesis
Allen, Martin G."Political integration, social stratification, size of community and class stratification are correlated with crime" (266)
Allen, Martin G."Directness of aggression is not associated with other variables [of social structure] of size and complexity--such as degree of social stratification, class stratification, caste stratification, jurisdiction" (266)
Blum, Richard H."When class stratification based on wealth and/or occupational status is present, or based on occupation alone, then: [extent of hallucinogen use is not increased; high or excessive use of stimulants occurs rather than moderate or no use; and the culture disapproves of the use of stimulants]" (165)
Broude, Gwen J."When each independent variable is tested against premarital sex norms while holding the others constant, only three [i.e., accessibility of caretakers, class stratification, and cultural complexity] retain their power to predict permissiveness and restrictiveness with statistical certainty" (398)
Ayres, Barbara"The presence of status differentials within the society which are based upon birth, wealth or occupation is not shown to be related to bride theft" (242-243)
Hill, KimVarious socio-economic variables (agricultural dependence, fixity of settlement, community size, population density, and class stratification) will predict political complexity (279).
Nielsen, FrancoisSubsistence type will be significantly associated with class stratification, jurisdictional hierarchy, inheritance of office of local headman, inheritance of property, presence of games of strategy, and polygyny (299-306).
Peregrine, Peter N.Games of strategy will be more common in societies where political power is based on a "network strategy" (386).
Harner, Michael J."For societies practicing agriculture, inter- and intra-group competition for [increasingly scarce subsistence] . . . resources is seen as leading to the evolution of more competitively successful cooperative units in descent (in classless societies) and in political structure, and to the evolution of class stratification" (67)
Prescott, James W.In societies where premarital sex is strongly punished, community size is larger, slavery is present, societal complexity is high, personl crime is high, class stratification is high, incidence of theft is high, extramarital sex is punished, wives are purchased, castration anxiety is high, bellicosity is extreme, sex disability is high, killing, torturing and mutilating the enemy is high, narcissism is high, exhibitionistic dancing is emphasized, there are small extended families, longer pos...
Winkelman, Michael JamesThe prevalence of "legitimate" or institutionalized human sacrifice in a given society is associated with certain geopolitical conditions and demographic-ecological conditions (48).
Roes, Frans L.Patrilocal societies are more likely to have active high gods (321). This will be true when individually controlling for society size (jurisdictional hierarchy), class stratification, caste stratification, and region.
Roes, Frans L.Active high gods will be more likely in societies with patrilocal marital residence, patrilineal descent, and transfer of wife to husband’s group after marriage (321). This will be true when individually controlling for society size (jurisdictional hierarchy), stratification, region, and religion.
Fenske, JamesTrade (using ecological diversity as a proxy measure) across ecological boundaries promotes class stratification.
Hrnčíř, VáclavSlavery will be correlated with many social features (see variable list)
Hrnčíř, VáclavThere will be a relationship between slavery and social complexity
Textor, Robert B.Hunter-gatherers, if they have class stratification, tend to base it on wealth (51, 106).
Caulkins, D. DouglasGrid and group comprise separate dimensions of social organization.
