  1. "For societies in which the relationships of grandchildren are the same with both sets of grandparents, . . . when the grandparental generation continues to exercise considerable authority over the parental generation after the grandchildren are born, the relation of the grandchildren to the grandparents will not be one of friendly equality . . . ; when there is no such authority, there will be friendly equality" (657)Apple, Dorrian - The social structure of grandparenthood, 1956 - 2 Variables

    This study reports on a structural analysis which is suggested to confirm and expand upon Nadel's (1951) hypothesis that friendly equality between grandparents and grandchildren appears only with certain patterns of authority in the family.

  2. "The role of the mother's brother toward [ego] ought to vary with that of the mother's brother toward the mother. Assuming that the mother is to some degree superior to the boy, then if the mother's brother has some authority over the boy, one would expect him to have some authority over the mother. If he has none over the son, being close and indulgent, he should have no authority over the mother" (292)Sweetser, Dorrian Apple - Path consistency in directed graphs and social structure, 1967 - 2 Variables

  6. Survival of the maternal grandparents, rather than paternal grandparents, will be associated with grandchild survival (201).Strassmann, Beverly I. - Alternatives to the grandmother hypothesis: a meta-analysis of the associati..., 2011 - 2 Variables

    Authors conduct a meta-analysis of 17 studies that tested for an association between grandparental survival and grandchild survival in patrilineal populations. Results show that the survival of the maternal grandparents is significantly related to the survival of the grandchild. The survival of the parternal grandparents is not associated with grandchild survival. The authors compare their results to previous hypotheses that relate grandparental and grandoffspring survival and find that there results are most in line with the Local Resource Competition Hypothesis.
