Hypotheses
- Complexity and representativeness of design in art will be correlated with severity of socialization (381, 382).Barry III, Herbert - Relationship between child training and the pictorial arts, 1957 - 3 Variables
This study tests for a correlation between severity of socialization and style of art among a sample of nonliterate societies. Typical personality is thought to provide an explanation for these linkages.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - ". . . there would be more curved [and complex] designs in polygynous societies and more straight-line designs in monogamous societies" (86)Fischer, J. L. - Art styles as cultural cognitive maps, 1961 - 3 Variables
This paper tests theory suggesting that art is a form of expressive cultures which ultimately is shaped by the social conditions under which people in a society live. Focuses on social hierarchy and its relationship to art styles.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Social stratification in archaeologically-described societies is positively associated with ceramic design complexity and ceramic style complexityPeregrine, Peter N. - Cultural correlates of ceramic styles, 2007 - 3 Variables
This study replicates John L. Fischer's (1961) cross-cultural analysis to demonstrate the correlation between art styles and social hierarchy and postmarital residence. The author suggests that archaeological ceramics might be used to predict social characteristics of prehistoric societies.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Paternal discipline will be associated with curved line dominant art style (40).Gray, J. Patrick - Male security and art style in traditional societies, 1981 - 2 Variables
This paper suggests that Fischer's (1961) "male security" variable is not adequate. Cross-cultural analyses suggest that male security in the realm of father-son interaction may be more important than male security in the realm of heterosexual interaction in explaining the line shape preference of a society.

This study replicates John L. Fischer's (1961) cross-cultural analysis to demonstrate the correlation between art styles and social hierarchy and postmarital residence. The author suggests that archaeological ceramics might be used to predict social characteristics of prehistoric societies.

This study tests Fischer's (1961) cross-cultural hypotheses about the association between social structure and styles of art using formal design elements on painted vases in ancient Greece. Results show support for all of Fischer's hypotheses.

This paper tests theory suggesting that art is a form of expressive cultures which ultimately is shaped by the social conditions under which people in a society live. Focuses on social hierarchy and its relationship to art styles.

This paper tests theory suggesting that art is a form of expressive cultures which ultimately is shaped by the social conditions under which people in a society live. Focuses on social hierarchy and its relationship to art styles.
