Main AuthorHypothesis
Broude, Gwen J."When each independent variable is tested against premarital sex norms while holding the others constant, only three [i.e., accessibility of caretakers, class stratification, and cultural complexity] retain their power to predict permissiveness and restrictiveness with statistical certainty" (398)
Bourguignon, ErikaPrevalence of bride price and bride service will vary according to world region (59).
Driver, Harold E."[In factor analysis of Murdock's WES, for the factor called typical patricentered organization] variables heavily loaded include patrilineal descent, patrilocal residence, and brideprice" (334)
Rudmin, Floyd WebsterZelman's (1974) index of private ownership will have the same sign as the correlation with Murdock's (1967) index of private ownership and both will have a null probability of p<.05.
