- "The more the father acts as the parental disciplinarian in a society, the more likely is that society to emphasize male deities" (44).Carroll, Michael P. - The sex of our gods, 1979 - 2 Variables
This study tests several hypothesis about predictors of male or female gods. Results suggest a relationship between relative emphasis on female deities and rule of descent.

This article explores the interrelated roles of male parental investment (males' infant/child care and resource provisioning) and male-male competition (variation in male status) on the degree of monogamy or polygyny in a society. Marlowe argues that Degree of parental investment affects females' interest in resource-shopping versus gene-shopping. Also discussed is the idea that male-male competition affects males' inclination toward harem-defense or coercive polygyny. Particular attention is paid to variation in parental investment and male stratification across subsistence types.

This study tests predictions of homosexuality. Results suggest that homosexuality is significantly associated with father-son contact.
