  2. Ritual frequency will be negatively associated with dysphoric and euphoric emotional arousal (52).Atkinson, Quentin D. - The cultural morphospace of ritual form: examining modes of religiosity cros..., 2011 - 2 Variables

    This article examines the frequency and emotional arousal of ritual. Cross-cultural tests support the existence of two modes of religiosity: doctrinal, with high frequency and low emotionality of ritual, and imagistic, with low frequency and high emotionality of ritual. Both euphoric and dysphoric arousal are considered. Associations between these two modes of religiosity and other features of culture (such as group size and the use of agriculture) are examined.

  3. ". . . contractual agreements often seem to limit the social content of work roles. Political organizations . . . do so less. . . . Production determined forms are just as likely to be rationally organized as are contractual form" (54)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables

    Udy divides methods of work organization into 'production determined', 'technologically determined', 'socially determined', and 'pluralistic' types, and examines their prevalence across societies with varying subsistence activities and levels of social and political stratification. Special attention is paid to processes of integration and differentiation and their role in effecting transitions between organization types.

  8. Contrary to Robert Redfield's beliefs, there will be more than a single overriding factor in the "folk-urban continuum".Hickman, John M. - Dimensions of a Complex Concept: A Method Exemplified, 1962 - 4 Variables

    The present study examines the validity of Robert Redfield's one-dimensional "folk-urban continuum" in a sample of 70 pre-industrial societies. As hypothesized, a factor analysis revealed that there is more than a single overriding factor about the "folk-urban continuum." These variables include kinship organization, size-complexity, and relative isolation. The author also contends there is an inverse relationship between relative isolation and size-complexity.

    This study re-examines the hypotheses offered by Kleiman (1977) linking monogamy in humans to monogamy in other animals. Of seven hypotheses, only two were weakly supported when using a cross-cultural analysis.

  10. A double standard in extramarital sex norms will be related to hypermasculinity (201).Broude, Gwen J. - Extramarital sex norms in cross-cultural perspective, 1980 - 5 Variables
