Hypotheses
- Sexual anxiety is associated with straight line dominant art (38)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.

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - "Straight lines, representing the male form, as opposed to curved, should be associated with societies which strongly favor male solidarity in residence" (84)Fischer, J. L. - Art styles as cultural cognitive maps, 1961 - 2 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.

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.
