Main AuthorHypothesis
Rosenblatt, Paul C."Where levirate or sororate marriage is present, tie-breaking customs . . . which eliminate reminders of a deceased spouse during the bereavement period . . . are more likely to be present than where levirate of sororate remarriage is absent" (71, 68)
Rosenblatt, Paul C."There is a stronger relationship between the percentages of remarriage by levirate or sororate and the practice of tie-breaking customs than between the percentages of remarriage not by levirate or sororate and the practice of tie-breaking customs" (71)
Rosenblatt, Paul C.The degree of ghost fear is positively related to disposal of personal objects of the deceased and negatively related to a taboo on using the deceased's name. Otherwise ghost fear is unrelated to tie-breaking variables (160, 79)
