  1. Sexual restrictions will be more common in geographic loci where risk of STDs is high (i.e. less constrained areas) (410-11).Mackey, Wade C. - Restriction of sexual activity as a partial function of disease avoidance: a..., 2001 - 2 Variables

    This article focuses on the relationship between geographical location and sexual restrictiveness, proposing that less-constrained geographical areas have a higher risk of STDs and thus have higher sexual restrictiveness. The authors draw on data from Broude (1980) and other research to support this theory.

  2. Rates of women's infection with HIV/AIDS will be positively associated with income, infant mortality, percentage of labor force engaged in agriculture, total fertility rate, and negatively associated with murder/homicide rate (54).Mackey, Wade C. - Sexually transmitted disease and gender roles: an index of cultural evolution, 2007 - 6 Variables

    This article examines the relationship between HIV/AIDS and several parameters of a nation’s demography, including income, mortality, labor, fertility, and homicide rates. Associations were supported by statistical tests. Regional differences are considered; Europe and the Muslim area had lower level of women’s HIV/AIDS infection. Four cultural adaptations to combat STDs are discussed.
