- "In the present hunter gatherer sample . . . when men's [subsistence] contribution is high . . . residence tends toward patrilocality; and when men's contribution is relatively low, residence tends toward matrilocality" (202)Ember, Carol R. - Residential variation among hunter-gatherers, 1975 - 2 Variables
This study explores predictors of variation in two dimensions of marital residence patterns among hunter-gatherers: 1) the tendency toward patrilocality versus matrilocality and 2) the tendency toward unilocality versus bilocality.

This article presents theory and hypothesis tests that suggest that the decline of women's contribution to intensive agriculture is related to increases in fertility and domestic work associated with cereal crops. Additionally, men in agricultural societies are less likely to invest time in hunting and warfare, so their contribution of agricultural labor relative to women's increases.

This article examines correlates of sexual fear among men and women. The author concludes that the more authority men have over women, the more women will dread male genitals and vice versa.
